Lisa,
I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and the children.
I remember the picture of Bill climbing the mountain that you had in your living room so many years ago. It was an awesome portrayal of the man.

Lisa and family,

I heart goes out to you and the kids. He was such a great guy, and inspirational gentleman, an unbelievable heroic fireman and so much else. He has been the rock for my family in times of need and I truly appreciate that. I'm so sorry I can't make it down from Boston but I will always remember him for what he was and what he did to make other people lives that much better.
