Bill was the most wonderful Santa. He touched so many lives. Last year my grandkids visited him via zoom due to Covid. My daughter-in-law told me it was the best thing they did all Christmas. We loved him my four grandchildren loved him he will be missed. Sincere condolences to all of his family and close friends. Our memories of him will live on forever. Rest in peace Bill

I'm so saddened to hear about Bill's passing. I had known Bill since the mid-1970's where we met on the old car show circuit. He had his aunt's 1957 Ford and a 1959 Edsel. We have happy memories of fun times with Bill & Cindy before and after they got married. Below is a photo I took back around 1979 of BilI & Cindy in their '57 Ford with my future wife Anne in the back seat. I still have my old keys on a Ford key fob Bill gave me on their wedding day as thanks for having my '59 Ford wagon in their wedding drive from the church to the reception hall. We moved to Florida in 2005 and hadn't seen Bill & Cindy for a number of years, but in 2018, on a visit north for my 50th high school reunion in Stratford, Bill & I met in a New Haven and had pizza. I'm so glad we were able to get together that one last time. Our condolences to Cindy and the girls.
