I worked with Bill for many years at Lifetime Care. He always had a smile and a laugh – even if the day was not going well. A really nice man. Condolences to his family.
So sorry Mary and family!! Such a good friend is gone. Shocking. So sad. Bill was a great guy and will be missed.
My prayers go to Bill’s family. I worked with Bill at Lifetime Assistance for many years. He showed so much love to those he worked with. It was an honor to get to know Bill. May he rest in peace.
I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about Bill. He was a really nice person. I worked with his son Andrew and that’s how I got to know him. I worked Security at Blue Cross Arena and would see Bill there when the Amerks were playing, he was a big fan and we would always talk for a few minutes. Again I am really sorry about what happened to Bill he was a great guy.
Mary, your fellow SJB Class of ‘67 are sending comforting thoughts and hugs to you at this time; we pray that you find comfort and peace through family and friends.
