Ms. Judy and family,
Shocked to see that Bill has passed away! What a great person he was! Always a big smile and a sincere, friendly greeting for all who met him. Spent a bunch of time with him over the years with Woody and Doris, Paul, Ed and the Maynard family. He, Jim and and I shared a few beers together in the Legion in Smethport and the Old Anchor in Marvindale. Deepest sympathy to you and all your family/friends!

Dear Judy and Family,
Sad to hear about Bill. He, Cricky, and Ronnie, were like big Brothers to us younger guys. Paul especially admired Bill. Know that Bill lives in our hearts and in the hearts of all who were fortunate to know him.
Bill, You, and Your Family are in our prayers,
Larry & Amber
