Driving on NY thruway near Windham and thought of your dad. Typed his name and up came his obituary Sorry we lost contact. He and your mom kept in touch for many year. We now live in MD. Hope you are well. I guess I am now the family historian as the last Rooney cousin. Bill Rooney 443 340 6485

Dear Higgins Clan: I've known Billy for over 30 years...we played golf together and skied at Windham. I still picture him greeting skiers as they walked in the door! The last time I saw him, he gave me a big hug and that great smile of his, appreciative of the fact that he was still enjoying life. He lived life to the fullest and we are all the better for having known him. Most sincerely, Karen Feldman
