Obit, William A. Healey

[Tom Greenleaf]

My next door neighbor and friend for over 22 years. Stuff happens to any of us but this really stunk. A simple bicycle accident and "game over" thing. Forgive me for posting lousy news but the papers expire and this can be searched out for as long as the site is active.

Rest in Peace Bill!

Bummer. I didn't know him, but a similar thing happened to a guy that was part owner of a local machine shop. Solo crash if I remember correctly.

Dave,
Appreciate the thoughts. Lost my Dad this year too and mind is gone! Stuff happens but enough already for me! None of us walk alone.

I'm certainly not alone with these shotgun blasts of dismay. Left with more questions than answers over a few losses this year?? Time heals. Hope to have enough of my own left?




God Bless and carry on,

Tom
