So sorry for your loss. Bill was a great man. He was very kind, every time I was with him. I know he will be missed. It is difficult to lose a father. We are thinking of all of you. Sending love and prayers.

My deepest sympathies to Roy and his family. We were in the same class at Easton High School. The loss of a father is very difficult. May you find inner peace and comfort at this difficult time.

I know this is late, but I just found this page. I must say to Lauren, Susan, Craig and Roy that your dad was a great example for a father. I always remember him taking great joy in taking you all on vacations together, going up to the mountains (was it called Promised Land? I forget…) I always remember him smiling at all you guys, and it was obvious he was crazy about your mom too. He just always seemed happy and light-hearted, though obviously he a hard-working guy too. Just an all around family man who was content with his life. You were lucky to have each other, and I’m sure he’s looking after you from afar – hugs 🙂
