To Bill’s family: we are sorry for your loss. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Sandy and family so sorry for your loss Bill will be greatly missed by everyone Bill was a kind gentle man with a great sense of humor.
Sandy and family, I was saddened to see Bill’s obituary in this morning’s paper. My heart goes out to you at this time. I had no idea that Bill was suffering. Now he can rest in peace. I pray that God will give you all His comfort and strength to get though this time. It is my sincere hope that you will call me if you need anything. My number has changed to 585-953-3505.

What a great guy with a sense of humor no matter what the situation. Sorry for your lost.Always remember his laugh.
I too did not know that Bill was sick until a recent phone conversation with our mutual good friend Dick Marshuetz. We surely will miss Bill! People mentioned his sense of humor, and he had that in spades. We used to sail together on the Maine coast. One day Bill was at the helm and he heaved the sailboat over so far we all thought that we had “bought the farm”. Of course it was just Bill having a little fun at our expense. On November 6 I’ll tell another short story involving Bill’s wonderful sense of humor. Bill was filled with terrific ideas, and we will miss those! Condolences to Bill’s whole family. Bill’s was a life well lived.
