So very sorry for your loss

I worked with Bill for many years at Cammarano´s. He got in touch again after my retirement and we occasionally talked on the phone and met for coffee. One memory I have is Bill often using my office phone to call his mother, speaking in a language I didn´t understand, with the occasional English word thrown in. He´ll be missed by many.

Our deepest sympathies to the Basil Family. We had a cabin down the street and Bill and his dog Cleo was very welcoming- well Bill was, LOL. Sorry Cleo. will always remember his kindness and the ongoing friendly battle he had with his neighbor Fiore, it was classic. Very sorry to hear of Bill's passing and have fond memories while we were neighbors.
