    To Bill's Family, So sorry for your loss. I've met Bill a few times at the PAV Club in Lowell. He and Walter had a special bond. The children I met have been polite and well behaved, a tribute to their Dad. (Even though we know that the Mom's had a big part in that.) Prayers for the family for the strength to get through these difficult times. Tom Stupakewicz tomstup@aol.com

    So sorry for your loss. I've met Bill a few times at the PAV, he and Walter had a special bond. His children that I've met are well mannered and that says a lot about him as a Dad. (At this time he's getting the credit even though we all know the Mom's played a big part of that.) Prayers for the family for the strength to get through these difficult times.
