Bill you will be missed always
his knowledge – mechanical ability – his caring giving – and kindness
I will never get over this broken heart – I am blessed to have such a wonderful loving caring brother – he taught me a lot [especially] about cars and Harley Davidsons – MAN what a brother thank you god for giving me one heck of a brother and best friend
The time Bill had to smoke a pack of cigarettes in front of mom so he could get permission to smoke – he was so sick when he got to that last cigg – I thought he would never smoke after that – the second Bill got out the door he lite a cigarette as proud as can be looking around to see if anybody could see him like he won the lottery [you had to be there haha]
I only wish the world had a beautiful – loving – caring heart that brother Bill displayed
Bill and I argued about politics – left /right – sometime these silly argument would get hot and heavy – no one ever won or did anybody want to win – I don’t know – how – what or why we did this – but let me tell you I will continue my silly argument with you when I see you in heaven – Cod bless brother
that would be him his self – one of a kind
Bill was one of my older brothers – along with brother Lenny – God blessed me when he gave me these wonderful loving brothers – thank you God
one of the best
he himself
The day he and rockey moved back to Mass. they came back with a trailer attached to the car – looked just like the Beverly hillbillies – never forget
learn and use his hands showing his skill and knowledge
every thing and any thing
anytime I would see him or talked to him
1965 Ford Mustang fastback high performance
being home with family
any holiday that work would pay for – he loved all of them
You better stop watching Fox News
Do you know what your talking about?
Other quotes not approve for this setting
friends – family and his many pets – many many pets
Just Bill being Bill – LOVED that great brother
just about every thing I know – how to steal a car – how to rob a bank – NO NO Bill was very knowledgable and could learn or teach about anything
every way he could – there is not one thing he would not do for family – friends or even enemies – one of a special kind
He was always willing to help care – support and give himself for anybody that needed his care and support
His unbelievable understanding and knowledge for the use of natural products – plants – spices for one to take for what ever ailed them – never cared for man made chemicals or there side effects – I would joke and ask Bill if he had his tree bark for the day
