Bill was always sending me pertinent information about the True Church and Her many enemies. I finally saw the light in time and still attend St. Jude Shrine in Stafford. I'm forever indebted to him for his perseverance in opening my eyes! My deepest sympathy to Annie and the girls and the rest of his family on their loss. He really was a good and faithful servant. May his soul rest in peace. Craig Sexton

My dad just shared a funny and beautiful story about my uncle Bill. He shared that Bill used to always dive down into the Frio River in search of lost coins during our family reunions. The Comiskey boys would toss in cups of coin when Bill wasn’t paying attention to give Bill something to find. They got great joy and laughter from seeing him come up to the surface all excited about all the coins he had unearthed. My dad has always shared such cute memories of times with his siblings. Bill was such a joyful, funny, and lively man. I have very sweet memories of the times I shared with him. Bill will be very missed.

I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of my brother Bill. I know as a person of faith that he is with God. He was a wonderful, kind, generous brother. He had a very happy outlook on life. He was one of the sweetest men I have ever met. I lost my dad when I was eight. Bill showed me how to be a man. I will miss him. Paul Wayne Comiskey
