We were proud to know Rita and Bill here on Lake Esau. Lots of laughs and glasses of wine add to great memories. His medical advice helped Bob during an episode one summer. We will miss you, Bill. Rest In Peace with our Lord.

I knew Bill as a colleague at Lahey for many years. He was not only one of the brightest people I ever knew, but one of the most genuine, kind and thoughtful. He cared for many of my patients, but also for my own parents and husband. I am glad to know of his wonderful ... Continue Reading

As Bill’s daughter in law, I feel lucky to have had some wonderful times with him skiing, sailing in Michigan, and enjoying numerous holidays. One of my favorite memories of being with Bill was taking a 5 mile walk with him in Woodstock, Vermont. Bill was a jovial man wh... Continue Reading
