Many people touch our lives over the years but Bill was special. I have watched him struggle and fight this battle for over a year and admired his strength as well as June’s. I will miss him greatly and only hope that I have as many people as he did that cared for him and were there to see him those last few days and hours.
He may have been Morrissey but I always viewed him as a brother Lamb.

Bill was an awesome guy and a good friend for over 40yrs. These are very difficult days for all of you and us as well, but know that you have a huge family there to support you now and in the future. We have many many fond memories of Bill and will always remember those good times. His courage and fight these past few weeks was truly amazing to all of us. When his time came, he passed peacefully and with those closest to him by his side. Your devotion and compassion during these weeks and this past year was amazing to watch. We know where Bill is and who he is with. He is watching over you now. Take comfort in knowing that.
Rest in Peace Bill, we will miss you and never forget you.

Fine memories of the man I called Bill. Many a night by the warmth of the fire with great conversations. He has now ascended to the warmth of our Holy Father. May he always be with him and in our hearts and minds.

Uncle Bill was a great man. He has left this world with great memories, a family that loves him and many people who cared about him a great deal. He will truly be missed, but never forgotten. Our heart goes out to the Morrissey family.
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And the rain fall softly on your fields
And until we meet again, May God hold
you in the hollow of his hand
Junie and family;
God Bless all of you. You are in our thoughts and prayers constantly.
Billy is resting peacefully now, hopefully you can find peace in that.

We remember Bill with affection. His sense of humor and consideration of others always stood out. We will miss him.
His transition from this life to peace with our Lord would have been instantaneous we know. His past year was the ultimate test and he came through with flying colours. We know he has a special place in heaven and will be watching over you all.
God bless you and give you comfort.
