For 50 years, Bill passionately tended to and maintained his beautifully landscaped yard and garden, and bitched about the rabbits, deer, and the neighbors who did not maintain theirs. 

Bill always had dogs (Dutchess, Sheba, Buddy, MA) and he treated them as a part of the family. 

Our whole family would like to thank our neighbors for their support; With special thanks to Bill and Cheryl Gorey for their love, support and advocating on Bill’s behalf.
