    Our deepest condolences to you Sherry and Brian at the death of Bill. A special cousin, we go back a long ways…Max and he school day chums and he introduced Max and me on a blind date in the late 1950’s. Know that we are thinking of his brothers, Wilford, Raymond & Tom and their families too during this difficult time. He was so very proud of his new grandson. We will always miss him as will many others.
