William Ormsby Obituary

Robin,

So sorry to hear of the passing of your father. My thoughts and prays are with you.

Robin and Carey:

So sorry to hear of your dad's death. He was indeed a feisty guy who lived life in a big way. Please accept my sympathies.

To Uncle Billy's Family:



My condolences for your loss. Your father/grandfather was "Uncle Billy" to me. I am the son of John Farrell Ormsby, whose father was John G. Ormsby, Billy's dad's (William Sr.) brother. I last saw your dad at our family home in Westwood about five years ago at Thanksgiving. As usual, he displayed his legendary conversation skills, wit and charm. He was kind of enough to present my brother Gregory and me with a framed print of your grandfather/great-grandfather, William Sr., in a team photo with the Brown University football team from the 1916 Rose Bowl. The print is proudly displayed in both my brother and my house. I wish you all the best in the coming days.

Robin and Carey

My thoughts and prayers are with you on the loss of your dad. He was a wonderful and kind man with a warm smile and a hearty handshake. He will be missed by many.

To Robin, Carey,Michael, Carey and Mary. Bill was so special to so many and I know how much he was loved and how much he will be missed.

My sincere sympathy to all of you and I am grateful for having been able to have known Bill as one of my all-time favorites and have had the opportuniy to have him as a friend. Whether in my home with friends or elsewhere he always was a "standout." Barbara Connolly
