Playing "Welcome" the doormat In his first elementary school production, Bill knew he had to be on stage, even lying down!  A well developed and diverse theater scene provided him with many opportunities to pursue his first love part-time while his full-time jobs often as project coordinator provided financial stability.  He acted and/or directed in theater companies too numerous to mention, did video work on TLC as part of "The Independents", an anthology series hosted by Glenn Close and was the voice of Socrates in The Dialogues of Plato (audio) produced by Agora Publications.  He was able to converse and translate Greek and German, loved Turner Classic movies, a good bourbon, Kit Kats, sharp suspenders and socks!

Friends and relatives are invited to attend calling hours Monday, July 26th from 9:30-11:00 a.m. followed by a memorial service in the MERCADANTE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL, 370 Plantation St.   Burial will be private.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a charity of your choice supporting the arts.
