I had known William since we started Kindergarden together. It was very humbling to hear of his passing from my parents in 2002. I make it back to Springfield to see my parents a few times each year; and, there isn't a time that I drive by his old house on Carleigh Parkway, that I don't think of him. Kevin Pierce 11/2011

William was a teammate of mine when we played football as freshman and sophomores at West Springfield. I just remember him as a laid back easy going guy that really played his butt off. He had a great sense of humor and loved to compete. R.I.P. ol' friend. So sorry to hear of your passing at such a young age. You are missed.
