God Bless our 1947 Aquinas Brother.
I am sorry to have read that Bill had passed. I didn’t know him very long, having met him at Solstice in Fairport and had the pleasure of him eating at the table with me. He told us of his position at Kodak and of his family. I talked with his daughter on several occasions and we all agreed that he need to be in a situation where he could receive more medical assistance. I talked to him on the phone a coupled of times after he left and wished him well. May he rest in peace.
Sorry to hear that Bill passed way but what a ripe old age. Worked with Bill in MSDD at Kodak Park in the 70’s. We became good friends. We played a lot of pool at my house in that time frame. Eventually we moved way from Irondequoit. and I lost touch. Bought several antiques from Ginny. He was a good guy and a good Irishman.
