We are truly sad to learn of Bill's passing. He was truly a favorite cousin, so loving and giving. It seems like yesterday that he stayed with us in Wisconsin when he was only seventeen years old. Those were happy days with happy and loving memories. Our love to each of you during this trying time. Letitia Notbohm

Dear Albert family,
Bill and I shared many birthday cakes when I was a kid at the Bowling league clam bakes. He was a great friend to my grandfather, Jim Peacock, and my Dad, Roy Ernst. Bill was such a wonderful, talented, sweet man. So sorry for your loss. Roxanne (Rocky)

To the Albert Family, especially Ann. What a fine gentleman your father was as I recall such fond memories of my childhood in Catty and St. Lawerence School. Your father was an integral part of our community and the Lehigh Valley. My heartfelt condolences with his passing.

To the Albert Family:
It was with a feeling of sadness that I read Bill's obituary. He was a name from the past, as I fondly remember him being a friend of my father's (Claude A. Schultz, Jr.) and an integral part of "Rileigh's." Please accept my sincere condolences in your loss. Barbara Schultz Colvin

Nancy,
Pam and I are so very sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He was a wonderful person whom I had the pleasure of knowing and sharing time with for many decades. He was a backbone of our community and helped so many with his generous time given to so many groups and organizations. I had the pleasure of serving on the AAA board with bill for the past 30 years and, it goes without saying that without his leadership as our Chairman, our organization would not be as wonderful as it is today. Pam and I shall miss his friendly smile and "can do" attitude. We are both very thankful that we had so much time to enjoy both of you.
Our prayers are with you and your family.
Pam and Dick Adams

Bill was very comfortable in his own skin, consequently as he moved among people it was always with grace, comfort, and a sense of caring. The fair industry has lost a model who had a unique sense of what it took to include all. Allentown was the recipient of many of his good works.

There are no words that adequately describe the joy of being with Bill who I knew as wonderful family. With gratitude. Susan

Village Bake Shoppe and there employee's extend our deepest sympathy to Nancy and the family of Bill. Words are hard to come by to a man who did so much and was the definition of a wonderful human being. The legacy he left will never be forgotten. Bill always had time and a smile for everyone. I am sure the heavens are being decorated as he did here on earth. As owner of the bakery it was an honor to know bill and be able to say he was my friend.
