I worked with Bill at PHH Mortgage. We used to talk everyday about stock market, cars and the workplace in general. I also ran into Bill several times over the summer (Sunset Grill in Wilson, EBC in Ellicottville, and the River Grill). So sad to hear this news. RIP Bill, 
Gone to soon!

I did not have the pleasure of meeting William, my co-worker from SBA. My deepest and sincerest sympathy to his family, loved ones, and friends. May God bless you with strength, peace, and love.

 My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family at this time. I worked with Bill at Ingram Micro a few yrs back.  He was always very kind, thoughtful and treated everyone with respect.  Bill  you will be missed!!  God Bless the Bickerton family!


My deepest condolences to the Bickerton family. I first met Bill back in the 70's when we were in Junior High school and "hung out" with the same crazy gang. When I saw him this past summer at one of our Kenmore get-togethers, we had fun reminiscing about those times. Bill was one of the good ones. 

First time I met Bill he stopped at my house just up the road from his new Lake House asking if I could help him fix his lawn mower belt.  He was such a up beat personality That I knew we’d hit it off,  We sat in back patio of the house and chatted as if we were buddies all our lives. He shared his plans and was so excited to be a part of the neighborhood. I was looking forward to spending more time with him .I am at a loss. but I want to give my condolences to his family and to Rose and all that lost  a good friend. My prayers are with you.

Sarah and Lynn we are so sorry for your loss. Your family was so intertwined with ours over the years. We always remember Bill from your days at John Carroll helping move you in on what was always the hottest day. He was always good-natured. Unlike most of us. Please hold on to the good memories you have to get you through these tough times.   Our love, Lynn and Tony

My condolences to Bill's entire family.   I worked with Bill for many years at Ingram Micro.   He was a fine man and was always positive, with a keen sense of humor & intellect.   Bill was so very well liked, and considered a friend by many of us who had the pleasure of knowing him during our time together at Ingram.    He will be missed.

I am shocked and very sad to learn this wonderful man is no longer on earth with us.  He was my mentor and had a heart of gold.  He  knew how to live life to the fullest. I think of him often and send my prayers to his family.  You will be truley be missed until we meet again.

Bickerton was my Twinzy.  Yes we were different in age, different in color, different in upbringing. Yet we bonded and understood each other like no other. It was a pleasure working with him and spending the time I had with him. We had so many deep conversations and I will truly miss the laughs we created together. 
I love you Bickerton until we meet again ❤️ In that Heavenly Place called home❤️

So very, very sorry to hear of Bill's passing! I'm blessed to have known him the past several years - really enjoyed driving our Triumphs together to Clymer, to the Southern Tier, to Rochester and up to Oakville Ontario! My family and our club will miss him greatly. I'd be honored to help survivors with his Triumphs if I can.

Sarah and Lynn, I am so very sorry for this devastating loss, my thoughts are with you both 💕

So sorry for your loss. I worked with BIll at PHH. He was a very nice guy and I loved his sense of humor

To a loving caring funny and wonderful handsome man. Bill I remember the first day I met you at Aunt Rosemary’s house and you took me for a ride in your 1964 Triumph it was really fun.  I would also say that you have made my aunt Rosemary so happy and my family. Thank you for buying me gifts which you didn’t have to 😊 ! Thank you for the Amazing memories ! Love you a lot! Yes I will miss you and it just doesn’t seem real :(
Love Always,
Sophia Whisker❤️ &Floyd 🐶

Will forever be missed.  Bill and I worked together at Ingram.  Sarah and my son Andrew went to preschool together.  I loved our chats- and rides into work.  Sarah and Lynn - thinking of you both - 

We met Bill when his brother Rick married our daughter Lisa.  Bill was always so  enthusiastic about everything when we were in his company at our Bickerton get togethers.   It was a pleasure to be in his company because he brought his smile and positive energy.  We will miss seeing him but feel we were blessed to know him.
We send our deepest sympathy to all the wonderful Bickerton family.

The greatest gift God gives us is the memories we have of the people close to us. There are so many I have of brother Bill. It’s always emotional to see the band The Musical Box. It will be even more so, since Bill's passing. He will  be missed by many, but never forgotten for his beautiful spirit . Love my second family. Save me a spot at the hot dog stand in heaven brother.


I’m so saddened to hear of Bill’s passing.  Bill and I met 23 years ago when I started at Ingram Micro.  I used to sit across from him for my first few years and he made me laugh every day. Bill looked out for me all the time..he helped me get my first assistant manager job even though his tenure at Ingram was coming to an end. I can see him running his hand through his thick head of hair...hahah.. he always used to do that. Sending my deepest condolences to the family on this sudden loss. He will be missed!

Thoughts and prayers from the Tarantino family.

I'll never forget the stunts we pulled in Alagany State park and we DIDNT go to jail. They would throw away the key now a days. You will be missed my brother. Stay safe Billy and leave some Angel's for me. 
R.I.P.. my brother. I'm sorry it's been long. But I'll see you when I get home. 

Bill- I think the first time I met you was at Karen’s surprise birthday party. Rosemary was at a work  function and couldn’t be there right away but you came, helped set up tables and chairs, decorated, just pitched in where you were needed. I knew then you would become part of this family.   
I will miss your quick wit, your grin, your willingness to be helpful but most of all how happy you made Rosemary.  We will miss you tremendously Bud! Thanks for some great memories!
Love always-Alison,John,Julian,Alyssa,Skyler and Piper

My deepest sympathy for all of you.  I loved Bill  and his laughter. He will always be remembered with a huge smile.  Rest In Peace Bill. You will be greatly missed. 

I met Bill in 1995 at Ingram Micro. He was my first “manager” but in reality he was more a friend.  We worked closely for 4 yrs and he taught me so many lessons before we each got new assignments.  We always stayed in touch and were each other’s go to reference on that next job application.  We chatted in February about going to lunch; I regret not making that happen.  Rest easy my friend.  CHEERS !

I remember repairing our banana bikes in his driveway as young yahoos rippen up the neighborhood. So long ago. We connected at several concerts over 40 years or so. Great times. Rip driving your triumph. 

My prayers 🙏🙏 and condolences to all Bill's family. May he Rest In Peace!

Simply... a kind, Good Guy.  We all knew each other as boys in Kenmore and I never saw him after high school, until recently at services for Tom Middleton. It was great to see Bill, the same Good Guy after all these years. 
To all his family and friends... I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Bill... this family is going to miss you so much! You were our friend...but mostly you were family to us all... and we are a lot to deal with.  You were always there for us  supporting us all in any way you could.   It will not be the same without you!  Our hearts are broken for your family as well....Yes... we will miss your jokes and the many smiles you  gave to Rosemary in the short time we have known you.  Forever in our hearts buddy! Until we meet again!
Karen / Avy Rose 🌹Sophia and Floyd
