So very saddened to hear of the passing of Uncle Bill. We have very fond memories of his many visits home to Wexford and enjoyed lots of family gatherings during these visits. We would like to extend our sincere sympathy to his loving wife Marilyn, his sons Paul, Terry, Victor & John and to all Bill's extended family and friends. Rest In Peace Uncle Bill.
