We are deeply saddened at the news of Bill's passing. We always like Bill and enjoyed time with him. The old Stanwood crew suffers another loss. The group had set my expectations for how neighbors should be, I did not realize how special it was.

My deepest sympathies to the Cahill’s. Bill was one of the neighborhood Dads and a good friend to my family and parents. I was so grateful to Joyce and Bill for making my daughter welcome after school when I could not leave my shift in time to meet the bus. She hoped I was not home so she could scoot over to discuss her day with them.

Dear Joyce:
It is difficult to find the words to describe my feelings when I learned that I had just lost my best friend and you had lost a great husband. Bill was really a great guy!
Allow, Ruth and I to share your grief at this time. Please feel free to call on me if you need transportation or some other help.
Ruth and Luke

Aunt Joyce and to my cousins, There are no words to say how sad I am to hear that Uncle Bill has died. I'm so happy that I was able to come to the area back in 2007 with my Dad. I will never forget how much fun it. Please keep in touch Love Shawn T Cahill

Dear Joyce, Family,
We are so sorry to learn of your loss! Remembering Him: You can shed tears because he is gone. Or you can smile because He lived. You can close your eyes and pray that He will return. Or you can open your eyes and see all that He has left. Your heart can be empty, because you can't see Him. Or you can be full of the love that you shared. You can turn your back on Tomorrow, and live in Yesterday. You can remember Him, and only that He is gone. Or you can cherish His memory, and let it live on. You can cry, and close your mind, be empty and turn your back. Or you can do what He would love. Smile, Open your Eyes, Love Each Other and Go On.
You, and your Family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Fondly,
Sandy Kinsella

It was a pleasure to know Bill. It was wonderful to know and volunteer with him. Bill seemed to work tirelessly on several committees as well as spending time with friends and family, always moving and being humorous. I will certainly miss Bill and his wonderful positive spirit.

I noted in the current issue of "Bonaventure" Magazine that Bill has passed on. I wish to express my most sincere condolences. Bill and I played on an intramural basketball team in 1948,1949 and 1950 at Bonaventure. I hadn't seen him since then but I remember him well. If I can share any of those memories with you please let me know.
