We were so lucky to have met a man; so wonderful and kind like Bill. We have shared such a nice friendship with him through the years. He always had a kindness to him which will never be forgotten. His smile is the first memory that comes to mind when thinking of him. To the Sullivan family we are so sorry for your loss. Many prayers are being sent your way. I hope that knowing how amazing of a man Bill was puts a smile on your face. He will be truly missed.

Love the Turkosz and O'Donnell family
