May Bill’s memory be Eternal. I worked with Bill and Christine for many years at Polaroid. Bill was a wonderful caring person with a gentle heart. This world has truley lost a great man, but Our Havenly Father has called him to a better place where there is no pain or sorrow or suffering. Bill’s family came first, the love he had for Christine, his daughter, and grandchildren was the foundation of his family. My thoughts and prayers are with you Christine and Diane.
