Hi Joyce: I knew Bill from the CT Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security, Region 4 Office. We worked together in the Colchester Troop K Barracks. Bill and I had many fun times working together. He always brought in some of Joyce's Cookies whenever there was a party at Troop K. He shared many memories of working with the Fire Service as well. Bill will be missed. I pray for peace and comfort for the family.

Joyce - Ed and I were so sorry to read about Bill's passing. The two of you made such a great couple - always interested in people and having fun. No one could keep up with your collective wit and energy. We are sure you are surrounded by many super friends and family who will be your support system at this time. Take care. Hopefully our paths will cross again soon.
Ellen and Ed D.
