To all the family, I worked with Stella for many years at Werner’s and remember Bill talking about the family when we would go to lunch. Julie, you would not remember but I purchased some dolls from Stella that were yours and still have them in the same boxes. Many good memories of Bill and Stella, lunches with the Werner group, Mary Ellen Kidd, Marilyn Dambacher, Carol Noble. We have lost touch over the years. My sincere sympathy to all the family. I will keep all of you in my prayers for strength and support at this difficult time.

There are no words to express the kind of person Bill was, having been his neighbor-friend for twenty years I can honestly say I have never met a kinder, selfless and just an all around good guy in my life! He loved his Family with all his heart ! He will forever be missed, We love you Bill Rest easy my friend! !
John and I had the privledge of meeting Bill and Stella thru our daughter Birdy. they were at all of the Beck functions, especially Alexa’s birthday parties. He was such a wonderful man and friend to Brad and Birdy. Bill told Birdy not to wish him back but to cherish all of their great memories that they made together. I am very proud of my daughter for the way that she stepped up and helped Bill right to the end. I am so glad that Bill was such a good friend to Birdy, Brad and Lexi but to John and I as well. I will miss that every time I saw Bill he would say HI MOM. RIP our dear friend. Patricia Gilmore
To the Barrett family,
I have been a co-work of Andy’s for many years. Although I did not know his dad personally, I wanted to make sure the family knew they were in my thoughts and prayer!.
so sorry to hear that Bill has passed. He was a very nice person. My heart felt condolences.
Hi Stella and family…………I just heard about Bill passing a couple of days ago. He enjoyed a full and happy life surrounded by family and friends. I enjoyed all the time I got to spend with Bill,you,your kids,and the rest of the Clan. Lots of great memories. Know that you and yours are in my thoughts and prayers.
I worked with Bill in the mid 70’s at Loblaws in Greenville, Pa. He was such a nice guy. I was just thinking about him the other day and wondered what he was doing. Deepest sympathy to the family.
