Three long years have come and gone. Never once have I stopped thinking about you, loving you, talking to you or laughing with you. Please save me a place, boy oh boy, have I got some stories to tell you! This is how you ended every phone conversation we had, so I'm borrowing your words to close with the same thought. "I'm gonna hang up now, but I just want you to know, I love you." Well, dearly departed cousin, I love you, too.

Bill, what a joy you were to so many people. You were always kind hearted and full of love for your family and others. I have many fond memories of you and Carol and Richard and Tommy during the Montessori years. My children thought they had died and gone to heaven at your house especially the ice cream sundaes with every topping you could ever desire!! Love you Bill and have a great time with Carol. I have a lot of very wonderful memories of your family . Richard and Tommy will carry on the Pertsulakes' traditions. Condolences for Richard and Ashley, Tommy, and Caitlin as it is very difficult to lose your parents . XXOO Gail

Dearest, sweetest, friend Bill, one of my closest and caring friends. I cannot get you out of my thoughts since you left so unexpectedly to be with Carol. I will miss talking to you, I will miss your boisterous voice, I will miss your silly jokes, I will miss your recipes and photographs you sent so often. You made me a part of every special occasion in your life and I feel lost without you. I Will miss you forever. Rest In heavenly peace my Greek angel. Love from Joan and Velda Carlton. Sincerest condolences to Tommy, Richard, Caitlin, Ashley, and Kush.
