  5. Dear Beverly, Our sincere sympathy, we were shocked to hear of Bill’s passing. I haven’t seen Bill for about six months, but we had worked on the DeMolay fund raising effort. We remember fondly, our many trips to Florida for the Nutmegger’s reunions and the many meetings during our years together. He was always a good friend, a dedicated worker and will be missed. I appreciated all of his work at MCF. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. We are sorry not to be home at this time, as we are in South Dakota. I have been in contact with my son Arthur and I trust that he will do all that he can to be of help. Again our sympathy and love, Carleton & Georgia

Mientras tanto, te recordaré como un hermano muy querido. Ricardo

  8. I knew Bill during all his years at Masonic Hospital, as our department cleaned the building he worked in. But, he never made me feel like I was a second class citizen. He always appreciated what we did. He had a great sense of humor and I always learned something from him at the seminars where he spoke. I moved away a few years ago but always wondered how my old friends were. I’m saddened by his passing. R.I.P. Bill. We’ll miss you.

  9. It was with heartfelt sadness that I learned of Bill’s passing. I enjoyed everyday that I worked with Bill at ARC. May I extend my sympathy to his family.

  10. My heart goes out to Bill’s family. He was such a kind, fun man. I know you have a lifetime of happy memories and know that they will help you through this time and sustain you all your life.

  11. We live at Ashlar Village in Wallingford and knew Bill from our associations at Masonicare, where Alene was a Board Member for several years. We knew of Bill’s love for music and also shared reminiscences of our activities in the Episcopal Church. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May happy memories of Bill give you joy; and may knowledge of the love of God console and sustain you and give you peace in the days ahead.
