A great friend & a Vinnies man to the core. Bill worked with my Uncle Kevin many years ago & hearing stories about that was educational. I’m going to miss our long conversations & I haven’t forgotten what you told me Bill, when things become a little challenging I’ll recite the Serenity Prayer.
Condolences to all the family -

Dear Linda, Pat, Amanda and William, and all the extended family,
Sending you my deepest condolences and strength at this time. I pray that you are all doing as well as can be expected, as difficult as I can only imagine that must be.
Your dad and poppy was an amazing man. He always had time for anyone who needed it, as we all know.
Uncle Bill was there for me through the darkest period of my life as a mentor and coach when others were not able to be. I’ll always remember the many months, you called me with inspiration and guidance, and I have no doubt, that you played a big role in my return to ‘normal life’.
You will be greatly missed by all those fortunate enough to have had you cross their path.
Until we meet again,
Murray B.
