I just recently found out that Bill passed away in December.We both had the same fitness trainer and worked out 3 or 4 times a week. There was a small group of us and Bill was the life of the group. He turned me on to Pandora as well as good local places to eat and good vodka. I can still see him in his wool cap, doing ab work or playing chess with our trainer before our session began. I truly feel sad knowing Bill will never walk this earth again. He was quite a character and will be missed. He lived life to the fullest. You go " still Bill ".

To the Nagle family - I am so sorry to hear about Billy. He was absolutely my favorite patient, he had such a great sense of humor. My heart aches for you...for I know how much he will be missed. I wish I could have seen him one more time, he was always in my thoughts. I hope you can find some peace knowing that he won't be suffering any longer.

My deepest sympathies,

"For none of us liveth to himself,
and no man dieth to himself.
For if we live, we live unto the Lord;
and if we die, we die unto the Lord.
Whether we live, therefore, or die, we are the Lord's."

Mary Louise, Stephanie, Derek and Chris and to the entire Nagle family(and their spouses) may God strengthen all of you with His lovingkindness and grace, this is our sincere prayer.

We live in the comfort of knowing that one day we shall see our beloved "Uncle Billy" again!

Love and Friendship.

To the entire Nagle family and those associated with CDS Surgical. Bill and I are sorry for your loss.Bill loved his family, and always knew that his wife was his co-pilot.
He was very proud of his children, and loved to explain the acrynom of his business relating to his children's names.
No one wore a bow tie or beret like Bill, and I enjoyed Sushi with him several times.
His roaring laugh can be heard from heaven, until you see him again.
Enjoy his memory, I'm sure there are many!!

To the Nagle Family
Needless to say you were blessed in your life to have such a beautiful man as your Patriarch …He was gregarious and compassionate to so many of us in healthcare…
His passion and fervor for his friends was contagious ….Bill and I had a mutual admiration for each other that in fact grew to a mutual respect and love, whereas we knew intuitively we enjoyed each other’s company…
If there is one encouraging aspect we can derive from death, it is…. at one time we all must cross over to its side …I really don’t think we “truly die” I am confident we just re-locate to a place far more glorious then here….Bill is there as we speak…..
Until then …I offer you peace of heart and mine…
