Bill will be missed dearly. I had the pleasure of being Bill and Sherry’s babysitter for my younger cousins for several years. After babysitting, even though it was just up the road, Bill would drive me home in his Vette. I never caught a harsh word from him. Always a quiet, calm man. RIH Bill! I know you were welcomed by so many of our family members for your homecoming. I’m sure you and Brad are right there together again. Love you cousin Bill! I wish to extend my condolences to his wife (my cousin) Sherry and his Kids Tom, Steve, and Jamie. Your husband, dad, granddad was greatly loved and respected by me. Thinking of you all with love and sadness for your loss.
