advertising to silk screen printing; he was an entrepreneur and an artist. William
loved golf, enjoyed body building, and was known for his sense of humor.
William will be dearly missed by his son, Todd & wife Tracy Rose of Amston, CT,
granddaughter Bella Rose, stepchildren, Jonathan & Jason Kulp, and sister, Barbara
Danalis of Lee. He was predeceased by his brother-in-law, George Danalis.
