Condolence: Dear McIlrath Family,
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in knowing that God is "near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves." (Psalm 34;18) Our loving Creator has promised to soon "swallow up death forever...and wipe the tears from all faces." (Isaiah 25;8) With deepest sympathy,

Condolence: Bill and I sang in the Danbury Mad hatters for many years. It was a large chorus in those days but Bill stood out because of his smile, good nature and just a pleasure to be with.
My condolences to Millie, Leo and the family.

Bill Manion

Condolence: As a college and graduate student I worked with Bill in the bearing deparment of Barden Industries during the summers of 1972 and '73. Bill was a steady, friendly presence - willing to help out a newcomer and always free with a kind word. Bill made me feel welcome and valued. After I left Bardens and moved on to Pennsylvania and marriage Bill sent my parents a lovely letter with very nice words about me. My parents still cherish that letter - so typical of Bill in thinking of others - today. So here's to you Bill! I remember that smile and those blue Irish eyes yet today.
