"We are your neighbors at 157 Red Rock Rd. Sorry for your loss of this kind and friendly man. We met William walking his dog Bacon and he was wearing a Yankee jacket so I knew we had much in common. So many times I met him at Wegmans and of course we discussed the Yankees. He will be sorely missed. Egon & Joan"
"Dear Bianchi Family, I was greatly saddened to read of Bill's passing. I knew Bill when I we worked at RIT and worked closely with him each year at budget time. He was simply the best. More than helpful, Bill was a colleague with a smile and engaging camaraderie. He will be so missed. My sincere condolences. Roy Pierce "
"Acts 24:15-"And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." Soon God's plan to reunite us with our loved ones will be fulfilled through His son Jesus Christ. What a blessing and wonderful gift to look forward to! "
"We first met Bill and his family approximately five years ago and he quickly became a favorite at subsequent family gatherings. His personality, his wit and his sense of humor were contagious and he made us feel as though we were life-long friends. We wish we had met him sooner. People come and people go but the memories some leave behind are lasting and most cherished. He won't be forgotten and his legacy will live through his children and grandchildren...and beyond. Rest in peace, Bill, and well done!"
