Dear Mickey and family..we were so sorry to learn of Bill’s death. Last time we saw both of you was at one of the Greece Choral Society’s concerts last year..and Bill as always was smiling. Remembering also when we took David and you took Becky to Fredonia..to start their college days. We did have fun that weekend! We are keeping you and all the family in our prayers at this very sad time. Please know how much we care. Our love and sympathy..John and Dorothy Taffner
Dear Mickey and Family: I am sorry to hear that Bill has passed on and that I cannot be in Rochester to personally express my sympathy. I have fond memories of our two families getting together and especially remembering Bill and my Dad joking around- Priceless! He was a good friend to my parents and I appreciate that very much. In your loss, may the Peace of Christ, which passes all understanding, be yours. Sincerely, Joe Pierce
I am so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. He was a co-worker,golfing partner and mostly a dear friend. My condolences go out to his family,who I am sure were very proud of him. May he rest in peace.
I grew up on Bakerdale Rd with the Erbs. I was closest to Rebecca as we were about the same age. My thoughts and prayers are with the Erb family.
I have nothing but found memories of Bill and the Erb family. I recall our family dinners when we were kids – packing either house will lots of energy, good food, and great friendship. I can only think of Bill smiling. Thanks for the memories Bill. Love Fran and Linda Pierce and family
I just want to send my condolences to the family. He will be missed greatly. I am Mary Quant’s sister and particularily enjoyed when I was able to enjoy a nice afternoon sail with Bill on one occassion when I was visiting the Quant’s cottage. I always tried to stop in and visit while I was there at the lake for some interesting stories and to see how the garden was coming along. What a smile and laugh that I will remember him by.
It is with a deep sorrow that we learn of Bill’s passing. We know that Dad and Grandpa will be sorely missed. Our sincerest condolenecs to Michelina and family. God Bless all!

Our sincere condolences to the Erb family and all of Bill’s friends. Bill was a great friend and mentor to me. Michelina and Bill treated my family as if their own.
