Bill was a wonderful addition to Sharon of Southpark. His kindness and intelligence attracted many friends and staff. He will always be remembered by his remarkable recovery after his being admitted at Sharon on a stretcher and never complained during his rehabilitation to normal living. He loved going to the pool with his friend Kathryn during exercise classes. May we always remember his smile and hellos to all residents as he passed them in the halls.
