Heartbroken is the East Coast Coyle clan. I think we did Uncle Bill proud in the style we sent him off. The night before the funeral was the stereotypical Irish funeral in our hotel. Family, together, celebrating his life and ours. I will always treasure our trip down memory lane in the South Bronx in his childhood stomping ground and the protection I was able to provide when he talked to the local hoods on the changes in the neighborhood, (I stood behind him and motioned to the "individuals" that it would be a bad idea to do anything but engage in polite conversation with my Uncle.) I will miss him greatly and the warmth, generousity, and style that he brought into our lives. XO dear Uncle and Godfather until we meet again.

Dear Maureen, Brenda, and Billy: Bill was an unforgetable man, a great story teller, a man proud of his heritage, proud of his family, and devoted to friends and family alike.I'll never forget that get well gift from Zabar's during my illness. Tomorrow morning my coffee wil drunk from that Zabar's mug....a toast to Bill's memory and his generosity.It was am honor knowing him and having him as a patient.
With all of my deepest sympathy,
James J. Pisani, D.M.d>

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself … any man’s death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
