Denise and family, we are sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers have been with you and family since we heard. I know he will be looking over you and his children every day and be your forever guardian angel. I heard he had a great love of snow so we are thinking he helped send this beautiful pure white snow storm as his final gift for you to enjoy. Our deepest sympathy. Hope all of your memories warms your hearts in the days to come. God Bless

Bill worked for us at the Naval Academy for a few years in the late 90's. He was a great guy, always upbeat, and a lot of fun to be around. I have missed him since he left and will miss him even more now. RIP, friend.

Dear Lynn,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Although I never personally knew your brother I truly feel the pain of losing a family member who was much too young to die.

I lit a candle at church on Sunday and now again here. I miss you so much already. You were a wonderful friend to me always. You loved and cared for Denise like no one else could. You brought so much joy to my best friend. You brought so much joy to all of us that were blessed to have you in our lives. Xoxo

Denise:
So sorry to hear of Bill's illness and death. I met you both through Mike and Cathy who were lucky to have you as neighbors on Gresham Court. One thing I remember about Bill was his skill in the kitchen, and whatever he brought to the picnic, you'd always want seconds! A great loss to many of your friends and relatives.

I am very proud to say I couldn't have asked for a better partner for my daughter Denise as Bill Michael was. He gave her a good and happy life for the years they shared. He will live In our hearts forever. We'll look you up Bill when it's our time to go and talk about your Buffalo Bills and my Orioles...peace be with you.

In 1999, a few of us decided to make the trip from the Midwest out to Orchard Park to attend the Bills Home Opener. We stumbled upon The Big Tree Inn, where Baltimore was the 1st of many to welcome us into TBT family. 17 yrs passed, and Billy grew into a great friend. Visiting him before and after games simply became part of our Orchard Park routine. We were lucky to have met such a genuine guy, and will now certainly do something outrageous each OPener to honor and remember him!
My thoughts and prayers go out to Denise and the family.
Goodbye, Bill. Thank you for all the good times and memories. RIP

Willie, you were the best friend Eddie ever had and a great friend to me. So many great memories of our times together. You were our best man and Ed was your best man. Brothers from another mother. You can never be replaced. We are so happy you found Denise and that the two of you had many very happy years together. You wanted and deserved all that joy. Until we all meet again in the next life, rest in sweet peace, our friend. I hope there are turkey and stuffing sandwiches and a bowling alley in Heaven!

Bill was my brother-in-law. I always liked him and thought of him often. He was funny and fun to be around. He was a great person from what I have read and hear about him, I have not seen him in years, it continued throughout his life. Fair Winds and Following Seas.
