Most sincere condolences to Bill’s family and friends. I knew Bill from many years at the AOH in Lowell. He was the chairman of the Emerald Isle Golf Classic Tournament. He was always cheerful and a guy to look up to for us younger guys at the Division. He will be missed.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr Sheehan used to lock up the gate for GE across the street from my house. He always was nice and took time to speak with me when I was little. He was a wonderful person and will be missed
