Our deepest sympathies to the family. I met Bill when I started work in Worcester. He was the kindest person to ever sit at the security booth here. He was always smiling, always glad to see whom ever was coming in so early in the mornings and very proud of his family. He loved to talk about all of you and share news of the newest additions. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of this wonderful man.

Mama J & Family,
Deepest Sympathy for a Big loss. Papa Bear will be missed. The first person that greeted me and welcomed me to the neighborhood 20 years ago, and did so with a Jolly smile that was his trademark. We started as Neighbors to friends to Family. A good man who lead a good family. You will most definitely be missed, especially with your bucket hat playing pool boy! We will think of you often, especially when the blender is fired up. Rest in Peace! Mike

Dear Pauline and Family,
So sorry to hear of Bill's passing. Always admired his dedication to the kids and the thousands of games he went to for them. Without Bill, my Julie wouldn't have been a swimmer and I would not have had a career in programming. Great man - he'll be missed by so many. Tony and my prayers and hugs go out to you and the kids.
Love, Jane
