My deepest condolences to the family.
I have counted on the old pictures of crown point that I remember so well gowning up There. living on south Main st for 12 years. His pictures brought me comfort and joy, as many such pictures were gone from my mind. I talked to him on email many times expressing my joy in seeing old pictures. When every I could I would come to crown point to see my wonderful home town. I always wanted to move back, but life didnt permit it. Thanks again my friend Bill

I met Bill when my brother and sister-in-law moved next door. He was a neighbor who became a part of the family. In reading the lovely remembrances here, it's clear that he was a member of many, many families. My love and comfort to all who know and love him. I'll miss his cheerful Billness.

I met Bill around 2001, walking Winnie, our dachshund. We hit it off right away. Living right on Main st. I would always make a point of cutting thru Hayes ct.
to see if he was out. Our only interactions with each other were there at his garage. The times we would talk were many. Solved a lot of the worlds problems. I cherish those times and I consider myself a lucky man knowing Bill.
Love you brother and hope to talk with you again some day.
