To Bill's family. I just found out about his passing. My prayers go out to you. I grew up with Bill (Butchie) on Virginia Avenue in Jersey City. We were good friends and often played sports activities together as kids along with others that lived on that block. We would go visit his dad at his hot dog stand on Danforth Avenue and spend the afternoon there or go to Lincoln Park. As we got older we had Newspaper delivery routes that we also had in common. He had Virginia Ave and I had Egge. We would spend many hours at Benmore Lanes (a bowling alley on Communipaw Ave) where there would be other friends to get together and practice.
He was always fun to be around and always made you laugh. I'm sure that didn't change as he got older.
I wish I had stayed in contact with him.
I am very sorry for your loss.
