A private graveside service will be held. In lieu of flowers expressions of sympathy may be made in Wilfred’s name to Care Dimensions, 75 Sylvan St., Danvers, MA 01923.
I met Bill back in 2004 when he would come in to where I worked. Over the years he did some jobs for me and then he became a client. It is very difficult to explain what my clients mean to me other than to say, my clients are my day family. Bill, a quiet, kind, and gentle man, always seemed to be more worried about those who were helping him then about himself. I have some wonderful memories of helping him choose what furniture he wanted, who should do work on his house, and just sitting on his porch passing the time of day. Even sitting beside his bedside at the hospital after he had gone through tests, he was concerned he was making the nurses work harder. I am very touched and honored that he placed the trust in me that he did and I was able to share a little bit of his life. He will be remembered, he is missed.
Deepest Condolences to Vicki, Donnie, Jonathan, Suzanne, and Jillian and Olivia.
