Dear Tim, Olivia, Liam, Kathleen and extended family. Our weekends were so much brighter because we saw your Dad/Grandpa standing by the sidelines cheering on his grandson and our soccer team every week. It was a privilege to get to know Bill, who was so humble and supportive of his grandson and our entire team. He was so proud on all the kids. I'll never forgot that while he appeared in discomfort and wasn't really able to walk, he still make his way to Wall township, and walked more than a mile to watch and cheer our kids playing soccer in 90+ heat. He was reluctant to take any assistance getting him back to his car after the game. I only had the opportunity to know Bill for a little less than a year, but he was so encouraging, caring, and just a blast, in every encounter. His demeanor -- his mojo -- made a massive impression on me. My deepest sympathies on your loss. Derek Laim's soccer team coach.
