The world is less funnier without you, Uncle Bill, and there will never be a more devoted husband than you. Thank you for being an uncle who spent time having fun with his nieces and nephews. I have so many fond memories of the times we spent together–most especially in Popponesset and Chelmsford. I will miss your wonderful spirit. Love, Mimi

I will miss Uncle Bill’s quick wit and silly puns. What an honor it was to witness such strong faith and true devotion to all of his famliy and friends. His light will continue to shine through in “Doobie” every day.

Dear Denise, with sadness I read of Bill’s passing. I remember when we taught together in Chelmsford how devoted you two were. I am truly sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Carol Miller
