So sorry to hear of Mr. McCabe´s passing. Used to enjoy catching up with him when he would go out for his walk. He was truly a gentleman and had a wonderful sense of humor. May your memories of your time together ease some of the pain of your loss. Prayers for all of you.

I´m so sorry to hear of his passing! Growing up, I remember my parents hosting inner parties with Mr and Mrs McCabe and their laughter kept us up after we had gone to bed! Mr McCabe would always greet you with a smile and warm hug. I´m very sorry for your loss!

After graduating from college in the early 80's I worked briefly with Bill at the Bacharach Blvd. unemployment office. He was a great mentor and also a lot of fun to work with. RIP to a guy who had a very positive influence on my life.

My father Joe Roche from Galloway was a football official with Mr. McCabe. They were great friends, on and off the field. I remember them working games together. Many laughs.
May he RIP.

what a wonderful human! What a wonderful family!
We have so many happy memories and some may include brownies and snow angels on the bed, winter jacket and ugly brown hat included.
If I'm not mistaken that same character also had a knack for showing up for Sunday brunch too.
Bill was a special gift to all his family, friends, and neighbors. Thanks for the memories...
