Too many good “Uncle Bill stories” to count them all. He was a true adventurer, proponent of great times & good wine, and a family legend. The epic backyard build of the houseboat dominates my childhood memories, and I will never smell fiberglass and fail to think of him. Grateful he is free and in peace now. Sending all our love to our favorite aunt and cousins.
Thank you for your kind words.
Uncle Bill was a good man. I have fond memories of helping him with the houseboat and his house sale. He was always so generous and helpful. I will miss him greatly. Aunt Charlotte, Darren, Colleen and Jess, If you need anything, please ask.
Thank you for your kind words.
Charlotte.,Harvey and I are so shocked to see that Bill has passed away. We loved spending time with you both at Rock Crusher .

Thank you for your kind words.
Love and Condolences to Charlotte, family, and friends. Bill will always be loved by all who knew him. The years spent at Rock Crusher Canyon with Bill and Charlotte are especially memorable. Freida and I are deeply saddened by his passing.🙏🎚️❤️
So sorry Charlotte. We are still at Rock Crusher and your name (and Kathy’s) was mentioned during water aerobics this week. Prayers and Hugs during this sad time. Sandy Watkins
Thanks for kind comments and for remembering him.
Where do I begin! I met Bill when I was a teenager and he was dating my sister. He was always the life of the party and a very gracious host! He took my engagement photos and wedding photos and was always the family photographer! The best memories of our times together were our epic rv trip across the country, it took 3-1:2 months to complete, and we all had a great time. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother and uncle to too many to count. We enjoyed all of our wine tastings at the Rock Crusher RV park, and endless happy hours. He will be forever missed and remembered!
Thank you for your kind words.
I have many fond memories of Uncle Bill, like helping him with his houseboat and prepping it for the season, and helping him with his house sale. He was very kind to me and was a great family friend. Aunt Charlotte, Darren, Colleen and Jess if you need anything please ask.
Captain Bill was a great guy. I met him at Rock Crusher Campground in Crystal River Florida. Both he and his wife Charlotte. Always welcoming always with the glass of wine to offer. Wasn’t sure how he got the name captain now I do. Always a smile on his face and a welcoming chair to sit. God bless you Captain Bill. Take care rest in peace. 💔🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for kind comments and for remembering him.
Dear Charlotte & family, our deepest condolences. We will keep you and yours in our thoughts and prayers. May Bill rest in peace. Sincerely, Jeff & Joanne Lucas
Bill is a great guy & was a great Commander. You are now in the presence of Jesus Christ! 🙂 Doug & Pat Elsbree – Iroquois Sail & Power Squadron 🙂
Bill was such a very special friend to both Rod & myself since 1974, when we first met while I was working for Cable-Weidemer. Bill & Charlotte very soon became our best buddies, whether snowmobiling, camping, cross country skiing or boating. Bill loved people & showed it so well in everything he did. Rod & I always marveled how well he would research & checkout everything he was interested in purchasing. Bill got me hooked on sweet wine & Charlotte & Bill always had a glass waiting & lots of goodies. One can never forget to mention what a gifted artist he was. I know his art works will be treasured by his loving family of which he was so proud of. Although we will greatly miss him here, we will be someday reunited with him, when it is our turn to return home to our Heavenly Father. My greatly sympathy to you Charlotte & the entire family. Sending love & prayers, Bonnie Hawley, Leesa & Billy Powers, Crystal & Roger Bessette & families.
Thanks for the kind words and we did have a lot of fun together.
I had the pleasure of working with Bill at Wegmans. He was a dedicated member of the design team and was instrumental in developing the use of computer aided design (CAD) in the architectural department. He was a devoted husband, father & friend. He shared many of his adventures outside of work. Several were legendary: his water craft trip on the Erie Canal to the Hudson River & around the Statue of Liberty. The other was his trip across Lake Ontario to Toronto & back on his water craft. Both with his great friend Ron Kozel. RIP my friend; you were a special man!
Thanks for kind comments and for coming to the calling hours.
The Veterans Outreach Center extends our deepest sympathy in William’s passing.
We acknowledge and are truly grateful for his service to our country.
Dearest Charlotte,
Thinking of you and your family at this very sad and heartbreaking time. Our mutual friend Johanna informed us of Bill’s passing. I somewhat understand what Bill had endured for our daughter Mieke also passed away in 2021 of lupus and colon cancer. My prayers are with you and the family 🙏
Thank you for your kind words.
I just heard about Bill’s passing. I worked with him at Wegmans. He was always very kind and respectful. I enjoyed reading his Christmas card each year filled w/ stories of travel, jet skis and wine! Unfortunately, I never got to see the legendary houseboat that he and everyone else spoke of at work! It sounded more like a tank! May you find comfort in all of your memories.
