Mike, So sorry for your loss. I know words of sympathy is not enough to fill the void or sooth the sorrow. But, it is the only way friends can reach out to show they care and extend an offer of help if you need it.

Mike,
I met your dad at St. John's when he was a patient and I was a nurse there. This allowed me to meet your mom and brothers, Steve and Bill. Later I cared for your mom at St. John's and later yet, Steve. But it was Bill who connected with me the most. I would meet him in the grocery store. He would always speak of you and, in his own way, his love for you. What a reunion he must have experienced in heaven.

Sorry to hear of your loss. I too worked in the CCF Bldg with Bill, or "Wild Bill" as we called him. He was someone who enjoyed being around people, always fun to work with and spoke of his family often. There's always a memory of Bill to make us all smile I'm sure. He will be missed.
