    Bill was a dear, gentle man who was such a savior to Barbara and her children When I had a youth choir at St. Peter’s he was always helpful if I needed anything in my endeavors. Barbara, I sent you my heartfelt sympathy for losing such a wonderful partner. Please give your family my love and sorrow for their lose and yours. God bless. Jean Tomich, New Marlborough.
