I am so very sorry for you loss. Bill was a good friend to many! My thoughts and prayers are with you!
We are so sorry for your loss!! We have many great memories of him at the ball fields!! Our thoughts are with you at this sad time!!
God’s speed and condolences to all of your families for the loss of both Patty Jane recently and now Bill. May they both rest in peace, forever united once again!
To Tricia, Vince, and Bill, I am so sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. I enjoyed all the good times we had together. He was a great guy and I learned so much from him. I will always remember all the times we spent together at the house talking baseball, horses, and all the past stories. May God grant you peace and comfort in this time of sorrow.
Bill was a man of deep faith. He always attended Mass — even many years after I was in Greenville I would see him at Notre Dame in Hermitage from time to time. He also always had a welcoming smile and a kind word of welcome. May the Lord grant him eternal Life and Peace and give you all a share in his consolation and grace. — fr. jeff

My condolences to Bill’s family. I remember him as the coach of the KC baseball team. My youngest son played for him there. He was a good coach, striving to get the best from each player.
