To Barbara and the Morsheimer Family
While there is sadness today, remember the wonderful person Bill was. He gave not only to his family but unselfishly to all the people of the State of New York and his beloved Town of East Bloomfield. Judge Morsheimer will be remembered by all he touched. Judge Bill’s colleagues salute him for his valuable contributions to the “the courts closest to the people.” May he rest in well deserved peace.

To the family of William Morsheimer-
Our deepest condolences to Matt and his family for the loss of your beloved family member. We are very sorry to hear of your loss and will keep you in our thoughts.
To the Family of Mr. Morsheimer: My sincere condolences of your loss. May the God of “all comfort and tender mercies” be with all of you through this very difficult time (Philippians 4:6,7,13). I am sorry for your loss.
My sincere condolences to the entire Morsheimer family on Bill’s passing. I had the honor to have worked with Bill when I was a uniform trooper at SP Avon and SP Geneseo back in the late 1960’s. I was a young trooper and Bill taught me a great deal about policing that served me well in my career in the N.Y.S.P. Bill was a real gentleman and will be missed.
I have fond memories of working the A line (night shift) with Bill.
Dear Barb and family,
Bill has been a dear friend for 50 years. He was a man of integrity – a straight shooter. He also loved life and saw the humor in many situations. I know he was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He loved all of you deeply and was so proud of your accomplishments. I am really going to miss him – especially as I ski the slopes this winter. They won’t be the same without him. You’re in my prayers.
Our sympathy is with you Barb and your family in your time of grieving. Bill was a great man and loved by many. His spirit will live on through his sons and grandchildren.
Rest in Peace
To the Morsheimer family.
Our deepest sympathy to the entire family.
We will miss seeing and chatting with him at the Hamilton Point Tract Association meetings.
All the best,
Barbara and Jerry Soltas
We send our love and sympathy to the entire Morsheimer family. Bill was a wonderful man and special friend. We will miss him immensely. We wish were closer and could be there for the service. Please know that we are there in spirit with all of you. Love, Bari and Marv
Dear Barbara and Family,
We are saddened at the death of Bill and hope you are finding much comfort in happy memories.
Love,
Becky and Vaughn Buchholz
This is a truly great man with a devoted wife and 4 amazing sons. He has payed it forward his whole life.
Now it’s time for God to pay it forward for him.
His biggest reward for his inspirational life and exceptional example of “how it’s suppose to be” is about to be rewarded as he moves onto the next faze of his life.
The ultimate love is about to be brought home for him in the arms of his warm and loving God.
May the angels gently carry you home Bill.
It has been my privilege to be such a small part of your wonderful life
Hugs
Mary Beth Sauerteig
A great friend who will be missed. Condolences to Barbara and family.

Bill was one of my husband Keith’s greatest friends. They knew each other as teenagers and the friendship never ended. They “got” each other and knew they could depend on the other–always. I can imagine them in heaven–racing boats together.
Barb and family, I’m so sorry for your loss–I know he will be missed by so many and did so much good in his life. Thoughts and prayers for you and yours for the days ahead.
