  1. To Bill’s family and friends, I want to send my sincerest sympathy, best thoughts and prayers. Wild Bill was an inspiration to me as a young runner in the 1980’s as members of the Greater Rochester Track Club and Livonia/Conesus residents. He was tough as nails, to my mind the highest compliment one runner can pay to another. We had many good times at races and training runs with Dave Coyne and others. Plus a beer or two after a race. The world is a lesser place with Bill gone.

    Best regards and love for Bill,

    John McNamara

  2. We were friends with Bill for many years and enjoyed many good times. He was always a joy to be with. Condolences to his family.
