My deepest sympathies to Dorothy and family. I'll never forget how supportive Bill always was for me - I can still hear him say "Doyle - you should just do it", he always called me Doyle. I'll never forget his beautiful voice when he sang Danny Boy with Peggy Beggan. He was a kind man and will always have a place in my heart.

Bill was a founding father of the MBA which started nearly 50 years ago, he played basketball every year since it's inception including 2014 when his terminal illness stopped him. He was a great guy who was respected by all the MBA members. He was a dependable and tough competitor who played while injured and ill. He never complained about either but just before his death he told us he was terminally ill. Bill didn't want sympathy he was tough til the end. He will be missed by all of his friends and family. Our loss will be God's gain.
Our condolences to the Green family on their loss. We all love you Bill.

I don't know where to begin but one thing is I cannot say in words the wonderful man he was, never was there a time I walked into a room that he he was in and did not smile and if I heard it once I heard it a thousand times here comes "uncle bill, how about them bears sweetie and I would always say back well them packers aren't doing so great themselves we just kicked there butts" Lol and we both got a laugh out of it. God speed to a wonderful man who can never be replaced and I can't believe I'm going to say this but in memory I must say Go Packers!!! R.I.P my dear friend...
