Bill and I go back a long time into those great childhood days. We always enjoyed the great outdoors in upstate New York, all seasons. In later years, Bill and I enjoyed watching various sporting teams (and music events) from our respective areas especially when they had a chance for the top seat. Bill always had a good word to say all the time. He will always be with us as will his family. You know, Bill never stops working for the best for all things, so I know he is still doing that from a higher level now. Keep the faith, Bill. Greg & Dee

I am deeply saddened to hear about Bill Wickwire´s passing. Bill was a career juvenile prosecutor in the Superior Court and I had many cases with him. He was awesome to work with and was always a person you could count on when having contact with the Juvenile Court System. Bill was a true gentleman, and a lawyer that exited integrity, knowledge and compassion in everything he did. I also had the pleasure of meeting Bill outside of Court, as he dined with his wife, on Wooster Street in New Haven. Bill was a connoisseur of the finer venues in New Haven, and he inspired many trips to `The Elm City!´ God Bless Bill and his family.
