We worked together for 15 years and he was one of my favorite people. He was always friendly and willing to help you without judgment. He had that amazing dry sense of humor and was loved by all. He loved his family more than anything else. He will forever hold a special place in my heart. My deepest sympathy to all of you. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Cher

Dear DeLeone family, Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of a really good man. I had the pleasure of meeting Bill when I was appointed District Deputy to oversee his K of C council at OLOPP. Always smiling, helpful and kind. Bill was a true Knight and faithful servant to the church. I’m sure he’s in the presence of our Lord. Jim Dacey FDD #4 K of C
