I am so sorry to hear of the loss your son, brother and uncle. I am shocked. I had not seen Bill in a long time but my friend saw and spoke with him, at a party that I forgot to go to, so I thought he was fine.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My deepest sympathies in the passing of your dear son and brother. Bill was my first real boyfriend, I was 17 and he was 19. I always felt safe and protected by him. I have often thought how lucky I was to have had such a wonderful first love; gentle, tender and kind. I will carry his memory in my heart.

I knew Bill from John I Leonard, he was shy, smart and ever so kind.
He always had a sly smile which masqueraded his warm humor.
I send my many blessings to those closest to him.
