Hi Bill. Have been thinking of you constantly these past few weeks. Can’t believe it’s been three years since you’ve been gone. Miss our talks. Love always, Chris

Bill had such a big heart and an even bigger smile. He had so much love for his beloved Kathy and his was so proud of Jen and Mike.  He will be in all our hearts forever. 
Love, Erin and Don Ryan

Do not stand at my grave and weep;I am not there.  I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow...I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain...when you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night.  Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die.  Jay (Jane Ormes)

Dearest Billy,
I have known you all your life.  I was fortunate to live next door to your family in the 1950’s in the Weir Village section of Taunton. Not only did we grow up together, I remember when you were born. It was one of my first memories. Your mother, Louise, brought you over bundled in a blanket to show my dad and me under our big red tree.  
We had great fun always. I particularly remember sliding down Monsignor McKeon’s steep hill next to Sacred Heart Church after the winter storms. And, as your grew I was so proud of the wonderful man you became.
I have no doubt that your Mom, Dad and Nana came to greet you and lead you to paradise.  They have waited so long to be with you and now their wait in over.   Someday we will all meet again on the other side.
Until then you will live on vividly and happily in my memory.
Dodie

Dear Bill, I am typing thru tears this morning thinking of the lifetime of memories we shared together. Of the thousands of Sunday dinners and holidays and birthdays where our family came together to share weekly highs and lows. Of our family camping trips to the Cape and Red Sox games and you driving me to Foxboro for my birthday to see the Pats. It's funny to me now, you being 15 years older than me and never treating me like a child. And how when all of a sudden two little brothers and a little sister came around how you used to kidnap me for Saturday errands. It's no doubt that my childhood wouldn't have been so special without you playing such a major part. As I grew older I have treasured memories of you teaching me how to throw a curveball, learning how to drive a standard and how to talk to girls. After I moved away our time together grew more infrequent, but we always seemed to talk when I needed it most. Our talks after Jeff died and during my divorce were dark times for me and your advice was especially helpful. Thank you for a lifetime of unwavering love and support. I will love you and miss you always, Chris

Our thoughts are with all the family and Bill . He will be missed at the Kelsey cookout in Plymouth . Brian and Cindy Hoar Plymouth Ma.

Bill was one of the sweetest kindest people I have ever known.  I will miss his warm friendly  smile.  He loved you Kathy to the moon and back.  I loved the way he always bragged about his grandkids!!! His face would light up. I will never forget all Bill and Kathy did for me. 
My deepest condolences to Kathy and their family.

My American Dad Bill! 

Thank you for always being there to help, for the wine, cheese, and crackers, and for taking us to a Red Sox game in Boston! You will always be remembered! 

Love from Bulgaria,
Monica


My sympathies in your loss.    Bill was a pleasure to work with during my years at Canal.    He was always helpful and was there when I needed advice.
