    Bill, I'll always remember "growing up" with you, our school days especially high school. You were a kind friend, always helping me with one thing or another. Thanks, Bill. Rest in peace.

    Love you grandpa, we had a lot of good memories but my favorite is our bike ride all the way to Pete’s market where we had a soda and road back together when I was a teenager. It taught me how to not give up and to believe in myself even when I wanted to, which is something my dad has always made very important in my life as well. It helped me in the marines and even to this day. I know you are whistling to your music and laughing ur friends right now.No one could ever miss when you laughed because it was a belly laugh and it lit up a room. Till the next time I see you, Till Valhalla

    Gonna miss you man. Too many good times to list here. Playing chess as kids. Eating burgers and listening to music as we got older. Riding and Thanksgiving dinners. We had a good run together. Thanks for being a friend. Hope wherever this next journey takes you you have some fun. Rest Peacefully Bill.

    Bill was such a kind and helpful man. He would do anything for anyone who needed help. He loved to bicycle to the point he would bike 100 miles in a day. He was an amazing cook...my favorites were his apple pie and his eggplant parmesan. He could fix anything that needed fixing. I knew Bill for10 years and we were together for 3. We spoke often, especially lately as his health began to decline. May his family and friends find peace in the memories. I'll miss him terribly!
