I’m very sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. I have many childhood memories of us growing up in the Cedar Swamp community. One in which was riding our blue Allstate motor scooters along with several other young “Hells Angels” in the community.
RIP my old friend!
Sorry for your loss. His love and memories will live on with his paintings.
To the family of Bill McCullough our forever friend and brother in Christ…your warm hugs and genuine conversations will forever remain embedded in our memories and hearts. And now that you are present with the Lord, we will live in Our Lord’s eternal graces, so that we may see you in the New Jerusalem. Peacefully your, Melvin, Rita and Jared McFadden.
So sorry to hear this. Kathy, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I have fond memories of you and Bill at St. Albans.
We are thinking of all of you.

Sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. Several years ago, he took time to view my work and offer much appreciated constructive suggestions, introduced me to Scott’s BBQ and the historic old house he was renovating on the farm. I later left him an old farm bell for the place. His works and generosity live on.
Thinking of you all today as you celebrate Bill’s life. He will be greatly missed.
