We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Greco Hertnick Funeral Home
To Mr.Bill’s Family, As I sit here today with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes. I want you to know how special of a neighbor Mr.Bill was to us. He loved coming outside to say Hello to our Beagle, Peanut! He always talked about his beagle/hunting buddy from his childhood. He shared his memories of working in the Mill. So cool! When we had our daughter and still kinda new neighbors he brought over a little gift for her, I know his sister secretly helped with that gift. Shh! When he had a scare the one evening with a blood nose, we all ran out to make sure he was okay and to get ahold of family. I always made sure in the winter time to send him my leftovers, bc his counters were filled with candy. He made sure to send those goodies over to the kids at Christmas. Our son Dominik was his buddy. We always tried to beat him to shoveling in the winter but he was still pretty quick on his toes. And my husband always made sure to go talk Steelers with him on Sundays. He was an amazing neighbor and the joy in his eyes watching the kids play, always melted my heart. He will be missed by our family so very much. I’m thankful for having memories with Mr.Bill.
R I P Mr Macey——-you are now with your wonderful Sisters
