Hi Anita, My name is Rich Pellegrine. I just found out about Bill today. I grew up across the street from Bill when we lived in Newton. I think I spent more time at his house than mine. I was always close with his children. His Grandchildren Aaron and Nicole are my Godchildren. Please accept my prayers and condolences to you and the rest of your family. Love, Rich Pellegrine

My sincere condolencesw for your loss.PHILIPPIANS 4:6&7.

To my family and most of all Anita, my heart is heavy on this day and my whole heart warm regards and sympathy to family for a great loss my grandfather William. You will be loved and miss dearly

Anita- We are saddened to hear about Bill's passing. Chantal and I enjoyed coming to see you two whenever we were in town.  He was a great conversationalist, thinker, and person and he will be missed. Very sorry we were not able to be there with you, but your family is in our prayers.

My deepest condolences to Anita and family.

I am so very sorry for your family's loss. When my father passed away John 5:28 helped my family cope. I hope it helps yours also.

I will always remember my conversations with Bill and his willingness to help me as I started my real estate business. He and Anita hold a special place in my heart!

Bill was one of the smartest guys I knew. I had many great opportunities to sit and talk with him for hours. No matter what topic we talked about he always shared his knowledge. He also displayed great courage as he battled illness. I'll never forget his laugh and the time we spent talking. I will miss Bill.

My deepest condolences to Anita,Terri,(Lodis), Dean,(Kim))and Family members.
Bill will be missed! He was a beloved fixture at GFCC. I shall remember him from 
singing in Joy in the Morning Choir.Also my short stint but your routine participation in water aerobics at the Metrowest Y! I shall warmly remember the loving bond you both shared taking care of one another and going on your numerous trips! You were a couple who truly loved one another as evidenced by your constant "togetherness " and enjoyment of life!! Sadly although Bill fought with dignity,perseverance and grace his many health challenges; God has called him home to rest! So rest my dear friend in the loving arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! You will be sadly missed!
Blessings & Sympathy,

Visitation
