Rosie,Billy,Sam and Family - So sorry about your Dad. He was a great guy. We always had a lot of fun with him. We would always travel down there and enjoy spending time. He was a great husband, father, and grandfather. He will be sadly missed. Always in our hearts. Love, Aunt Maureen and Uncle Joe.
Aunt Rosie, Sam, and Billy - We are so sorry to hear about Uncle Bill. Thinking about you all and sending love and comfort during this difficult time. I have so many great memories of when we were younger and took trips to Florida. He was a great uncle, may he rest in peace. Love, Kathy ( O'Grady ) Cramer and Family
Our condolences to Rosie, family and friends. I was looking through boxes of pictures trying to find one of the cousins running around Uncle Jack and Aunt Rose's backyard. I did find an oldie of little cousin Bill and my sister Frances, sitting in one of grandma Dugan's big chairs.. They were the two oldest grandchildren. It almost looks like Billy just finished telling one of his famous jokes and Fran is just rolling her eyes. I hope Bill is sharing his jokes with Fran now. With deepest sympathy, cousin Jackie and Joe
Our condolences to family and friends, sorry to hear of Billy's passing. I was looking through old photos hoping to find the "cousins" running around Uncle Jack and Aunt Rose's backyard(my mom and Dad). I did find an old treasure, my sister Frances with little Bill seated beside her on one of Grandma Dugan's big chairs. They were the first two grandchildren. It almost looks like Bill just told one of his famous jokes, and Fran is just rolling her eyes. I hope he is sharing some jokes with Fran now. Love Cousin Jackie and Joe
Sam, Billy and family, our deepest condolences of the loss of Uncle Bill. Some of my fondest memories of Uncle Bill are from the many vacations we all spent together when we traveled from NJ to FL to visit. I'll also always remember the good times we all had together after moving to FL. The many beach days and taking the Transvan, camping trips, boat days on the Suwannee River and holidays. Sending our love and prayers.Love Michelle & family
Here's a memorable moment of Bill. My husband (Ed) and myself went out with Bill and Rosie, his wife, who is my sister, for a day of fun on his Dad's boat. After we were out awhile enjoying ourselves, Bill and my husband decide it was a good idea for me to go for a swim. Since I wasnt a great swimmer, they actually tied some rope around me before throwing me overboard. Then started the boat and took me for ride as I was saying "get me out of here".
It didn't seem funny at the moment, but we all laughed afterwards.
We had a lot of fun and enjoyable days with both Bill and Rosie.
Great Memories!
It is with deepest sympathy that we mourn Bill's passing. Sending our condolances to Rosie, Samantha, Bill, Jr, Veronica and also his grandchildren. May he rest in peace.
Hi all. I was very saddened to hear the news. I can't think of a time when cousin Billy was around that everyone wasn't laughing. Whether it be having the "misfortune" of watching over us in Long Branch ( and it was quite a pack) or at Aunt Rosie's and Uncle Jack's summer Barbecues. Although we haven't been in touch for quite a while, I can still remember his laugh. My condolences to all. Love from Cousin Rosie
Dear Bill, Samantha, Rosie, Veronica and families and friends, Please accept condolences on the loss of your dad, husband, brother, and friend. Our hearts reach out to you with love, sympathy and caring. We had many great times with cousin Bill. Our fondest remembrances of him were in the creek in the woods behind our house where we often set up a little fire stand and spend the day making dams and swimming. We had many barbecues together in our yard and we would race around trying to catch fireflies when it got dark. Bill had a great sense of humor and we all enjoyed the Smith family visits. Love, Bill, Mary Lu and family
