I worked at Sperry in Reston, VA with Bill for several years in the 80's. We played softball together and always went out for dinner after the games. There was never a more fun guy to be around. I am so sorry that he passed away with so much more in life to look forward to.

Patty and Family,

On behalf of my wife and family, I want to express my deepest condolences on Bill's sudden passing.  He is one of the "good guys" of Maywood, a good friend, and my Brother Knight.............he is an example of what it takes to be a man !!!
My prayers are with you and your family always.
May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the Mercy of God rest in Peace. Amen.

I went to Our Lady Queen of Peace grammar school with Bill and played football with him on the Maywood Tar Heels in high school. We had a lot of good times together with our local group of friends. Sorry to say after high school  I lost contact with Bill or "Sonny" as we used to call him.He was always very positive and fun to be with. I will keep Bill and his family in my prayers.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any manʼs death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
