Our deepest sympathy and condolences to Fred, Nancy and all of your family. Our fondest memory of Bill was a chance encounter in 1990 at Paradise Island Resort (our lst vacation outside of New England) and on our first hour there, we heard a voice shout "Hey June" (my husband's nickname). We'll remember Bill with love. Clem (Juney) and Marie Affinito
