A talented musician, Bill played in many bands throughout his life. He cherished time spent with family and friends, often on the coast of Maine. Bill deeply loved his family, his pets, and all his wonderful neighbors.
A celebration of life will be held on November 15th from 2:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the American Legion (1707 Penfield Rd).
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Bill's name to The Salvation Army, where he generously volunteered his time by dressing up as Santa for over 40 years.
As Bill would say, "Alrighty then"-here's to living your best life here on planet Earth and truly making a difference.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
