Don't look so sad, I know it's over. I have been so blessed to have such a wonderful man touch my heart. I met Bill Jameson probably while I was in the hospital when I was first born. He was in my life always and will be in my heart always. I am not going to be selfish as he was in pain, however, my heart is breaking. I love you more than I will ever be able to express in words, but I am confident that you know how you are in my heart. RIP I will see you again and give you that hug that I just missed to give you.

With one grandfather that passed before I was born and the other that passed when I was 9, Pop was the only grandfather that I had. I married into the family and with Pop a part of it what a great blessing it was. He ALWAYS had a smile, a hug and a warm hello. I never saw him angry. He was always patient with those around him and seemed to be sincerely happy to see you when you came to visit. He was always sweet and kind to my children / his grandbabies and engaged in conversation with them. I witnessed him as a best friend to many, a father and a grandfather. He did an amazing job at all of these. We loved him dearly and will miss him very much!!! Jacky, Danna, Katlin, Autumn, Nate, Payton and Maggie Nicholson (Charlotte, TN)

Bill I had the pleasure of meeting your dad at an Angels game last season. I took a picture of your group and sent it to you. Your dad shook my hand and I could see what a great man he was. I'm glad that I got to meet him. My prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family. Claude (Matsuiland)

It was a sad day when I heard of Bill Jamesons passing. But so many memories remain and I am thankful for the time with him. Bill was a man of unselfish compassion and empathy for all. He touched many a soul including mine.
Somehow Bill made a point to know a little about everyone and could always say the right thing to make you feel good. The world is a different place now.

Oh boy, where to start. I remember Bill from his ice cream store in Saugus, he was a faverate for all us in the early years, and then when he moved to Oasis Park and managed and entertained us with his band and his special personality, what a very special guy. Everybody who knew Bill knew how special he was and will miss him. what a loss, I will always remember you Bill Jameson.

To say that he was the nicest man is an understatement. He was funny, talented, and treated people like everyone was his friend. He was an amazing man, and I'll never forget him.

Pop, I am so grateful for the time we had together. Your smile, generosity, and love for people was evident to all who met you. You never met a stranger, only friends. Your son is just like you. I'm so glad we had the privilege of caring for you this last year - what a blessing! I'm proud to call myself your "favorite daughter-in-law." I love and miss you every day Pop; who's gonna call me darlin' now. See you heaven, and remember you promised me I could play in your band. Save a place for me at the table. XXX OOO

Bill, we never got to meet your dad but I could tell he must have been great just because you are a beautiful person. I know that he is proud of the life you lead today and to be able to share some new memories with him in your hometown, is a huge blessing. May you take the time to grieve, but remember after the rain, God always shows us a rainbow. When you are ready, that rainbow will shine bright and you will always have your dad's love in the your heart and mind:) Hugs to you and Laurie.
With Deepest sympathy,
Mark & Karen Sota & Family

Dad,
I watched you and I wanted to be like you, you taught me the most by your example because ....well .... everyone knows I didn't listen. You taught me what it really means to be a man. You taught me that a real man loves with his whole heart, even when the ones we love aren't so lovable. You taught me what it means to be a friend, your friends are the proof that you knew what you were doing. You always told me, "When it's all said and done, if you can count your true friends on one hand, you've done well." I can say Daddy, "you did well." You taught me the true meaning of "character" and "Integrity," and you taught me that men with these attributes do the right thing .... even if it's hard. I thank God for the gift of time he gave us. The time we spent together over the last few years and the stories you shared convinced me how much we are alike.
I was convinced it wouldn't be heaven to me, without you in it, so I thank God for the talk you and Laurie had. I am proud of you Dad and I will miss you, but I know in my heart that.... the circle won't be broken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye ...
Love you Daddy,
