Bill, My Captian. I miss you so much, and truly heartbroken 💔 you left us way too soon! I will cherish the wonderful work days and after work meals we shared, oh how you fed me so good with those seafood dinners. We met under hard circumstances battling to help our sons who were suffering thru addictions. I truly am blessed we were each other anchors thru those challenging times but we grew in strength and genuine friendship, I was blessed to have known such a kind, generous wonderful man, I always felt safe in your teddybear presence. May God Bless you in your Heavenly eternal life now. Watch over us. I miss you so very much. Until we meet again. Happy Birthday today, May 15. I will cary you in my heart forever. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹💙💙💙💙

Bill and I first became friends in 4th grade at Wroxeter On Severn School. We graduated from Wroxeter together and then went on to attend and later graduate from Severn School together as well. Needless to say, we go back a ways! Bill was one of those rare human beings who always had a smile on his face. He was such an optimistic, positive soul with this wonderful sunny disposition and I always looked forward to hanging around with him for just those reasons. Rest In Peace my old friend - the world was a better place with you in it. I will miss you Bill.

Hello....
My name is Marty Muench and Bill and I go back a long way together.
I worked at the Jabin's Yard in the mid 80ties and got to know Bill there. He did a beautiful job refinishing a sailboat I had bought and thus a long relationship began.
Over the next 30 years Bill worked often as a subcontractor for my company.
Work was always accompanied by lots af laughter, joking around and a good time.
My heart goes out to his family and it is sad to have to say goodbye.
We will all miss him.....

I spent big portions of many summers at Corn Island on the Rhode River with the Cory's. Ernie was my contemporary and we were 3rd cousins. Billy was often around and always was inclusive of his younger cousin and brother. The laughter in that house is what I remember so much. Molly and Billy shared mama Ann's beautiful easy laugh. A tragic end to a warm friendly life well lived.

Peyton and Neal my prayers are with you both at this difficult time of loss. Your Dad was very special to our son Jonathan when he was growing up and spent happy hours at your house. May you find great peace and comfort in the days to come, by the sweet memories you have of your Dad. Love you both💕

Bill was King when the marine industry was just starting to blossom in the Annapolis area. He was patient, always had a smile, highly skilled, professional and on task. Everyone who had the pleasure of working with Bill was fortunate.

God Bless.
