To Bill's family, I'm so very sorry for your loss. My entire family has known and loved Bill since about 1969, I think. His contagious laugh and beautiful smile will be missed by everyone who knew him. Godspeed Bill! I'll see you again! Love, Squeekie
Hearing about Uncle Billy's passing brought back memories from long ago of spending summers in New Jersey. Even though life took us in different directions, I'm thankful for those moments. I'm holding the family in my heart during this time of loss. Sincerest condolences form me and my Family. Greg and Yolanda
