Dear Pat and Family,

You are in my thoughts and prayers as we approach the 2nd anniversary of Bill's passing. I think of him often, and will always miss his friendship, wit, and kindness. Seems like yesterday that he was in our wedding with his big grin and funny remarks ;-) Praying that you are comforted in the days ahead, and that each day for you is brighter than the previous. Sincerely, Joe Mroz

To the Perkins family. I met Bill many years ago while working in the business. I would see him at the ISA show and we alway had something to chat about. I also would by chance run into the family camping at Sprague Brook park which I know he loved. Prayers to the family and friends. He was a terrific guy and will be missed by all

So very sorry for your loss. Bill was a childhood pal during the high school days and we then moved in opposite directions of the map. Was a great friend.

So many great teenage memories with all of you--dirt bikes, DiPaulo's, hanging out at the house listening to music--so many songs bring back wonderful memories. Bill was my first love and has a special place in my heart. Patty, I am so sorry for your loss--hugs (()) to you and family. Annie, I wish I could be there in person to say my goodbyes.

Dear Perkins family,
Bill was the type of person you wanted to work with and I was lucky to have worked with him at Pertech and Flomotion for over 35 years. When I was a service rep. with Capital Controls, he took time out of his schedule after work to take me to "The Falls", even though he had been there dozens of times before. His wit, easy-going style, professionalism and friendship will be sorely missed. Deepest sympathies to your entire family and our prayers are with you,
George

Dear Pat Mark,Joel and Scott, If there is a heaven (and I believe that there is) then there is beer in heaven and Don was waiting with cold one for Bill. Bill was such a larger than life guy- always with a smile and a sense of adventure! The world is a poorer place for his passing and he will be missed. Our prayers and sympathy are with you as you find your way through this ordeal.

Dear Pat,Joel, Scott, Mark & Liz,
We are so very sorry for your loss. Bill was a wonderful person and will be sadly missed. We have so many great memories over the years. His love of his family and adventure was always in the forefront. We will always remember him showing up on his bike at Cuba Lake(a 75 mile ride) with Joel and Scott in tow. Pat just home with new baby Mark. We feel so lucky to have been able to visit the cabin in EVL, sailing on Lake Ontario, lots of Cuba Lake FUN and so many celebrations. Truly a wonderful husband, father and friend. Thank you Bill for the mark you left on our world.
Peace to you.
Jan & Suzanne Fundalinski
