As my closest boyhood friend, Billy and I shared many early days, together.  We boxed in his basement, played every street game of the '50s, shared our quick, witty jokes, and grieved, together, over the untimely loss of both our dads.  I'm praying for all who had the gift of knowing such a tremendous human being.  Rest in peace, my friend.  Eddie McDonnell

Dear Henny, Claire, Mike & Family,

I remember Bill trying to take down a tree & when the tree was heading towards the pool, we were called.  Tom was able to save the pool & Bill.
Thanks for the many years of friendship, and memories.

I remember many a night with Bill and my sister Henny and my husband Chuck sitting around, drinking wine and laughing as Bill would yell at their lovebird and the silly bird would yell back.He had a great sense of humor, particularly with young children. He could relate so well to them. He could always access his inner child when there was a little short person around. Rest in Peace Bill!
