As an RN at Atlanticare (Mainland), I was able to witness William offering the Eucharist to many patients, over many years. He brought a lot of comfort to the sick. I also enjoyed talking to him at church and within the Four Seasons community. My condolences to the family. David Day

Pop Pop always treated me very kindly and opened his home to me when I came to visit. I'll always remember him for his jokes and laughter, and playing the card game "sevens" with Mom Mom. I will miss chatting with him about work and the economy. May all the family find peace with this great loss, all the best, Steve

I remember visiting Mom Mom and Pop Pop every summer. Pop Pop always buying me buttercake, taking me to the amusements, asking if I wanted more tickets for rides and always giving me more than enough tickets! Always so giving, ready to give me anything I wanted or needed. I remember him rollerskating, way back when I was little. He liked to tell me about that memory. He also liked to tell me "I used to be a soda jerk, now I'm just a jerk!" And I'd laugh, he was telling me that joke since I was little. I had a rootbeer float last week in his honor and am grateful he is now at peace, that his body is no longer suffering. I am grateful for our weekly calls over the last 6 months or so, I will miss him very much. May all his family, Mom-Mom especially, feel peace and love in their hearts right now. Love, Ria
