  Bill came to my mind today. I did a search and came accross his obituary. So sorry for your loss. Billy is a big part of my childhood memories. The Comeleys and Affoders spent a lot of time together when I was young. Billy spent a lot of time at my childhood home. I remember sitting on his lap and enjoying his company. I always liked it when Bill came to visit. He and my dad worked on whatever needed fixed and enjoyed a cup of coffee with each other. I remember him with joy in my heart and a smile on my face.

  I offer my sincere condolences to all mourning the loss of this kind man. I am not a family member nor am I a close friend, I am simply a woman who stumbled on Bills phone number many years back In need of an appliance repair. In my opinion Bill was the cream of the crop! He was always there when I needed a repair and I took delight when someone I knew needed help I would surely pass his number on. He was an outstanding gentleman and always very punctual. Definitely the kind of man you wanted to keep in your back pocket. Today yet again in need of a repair I was stunned to hear this sad news that he had passed. I truly wish I had known sooner. Please except my deepest sympathies to his family and friends and to all who are mourning his loss. I too feel your sadness 😞 Rip Mr Bill and thank you for your years of service.🙏🏻

  As I add another memory nearly two months later I am still trying to comprehend the words I heard that morning when I answered the phone and listened to my daughter say, "Mom, are you sitting down?" Bill was and still is and will always be my big brother. He was here my whole life, every second of it. We weren't "buddies" but just like if I needed him he was there. I was always told he didn't want a baby sister, he wanted a "baby Susie". If I remember he called me Susie until I started school and Mother informed me that my name was Peggy and not Susie. But then he never called me Peggy, I was "Sis". He taught me the first words I could read, he held me as I sobbed when the reality of John Kennedy's murder hit me. And he was ready to get in his car and head for Minneapolis to bring me home when I was so disillusioned with my first living accommodations during my first time away at school. When I came back home to Pittsburgh he became my "dragon slayer". All my dates had to be put under his microscope. I guess my first husband passed the test because Bill proudly walked me down the aisle despite his nervousness displayed by the three newly lit cigarettes in the ashtray as we waited in the bride's room. He further endeared himself by stepping on my train and nearly pulling my veil off as he turned to go and sit in the pew beside Mother. It makes me wonder now if he was especially careful when he relinquished his daughters at the altars. All those years and I never talked to him about the incident. But I do hold it close in my heart to revisit when I need the reminder of how to smile. Don't know why I've gone on like this at this particular time. I suppose just sitting here alone thinking of the family wedding approaching and the people who won't be there to celebrate with us and not be here to rejoice with me later in the year when I welcome my first two great-grandchildren. Bill so enjoyed playing on the floor with my first grandson when I took him to meet his great uncle Bill. Short of 12 months before Bill died our "little" brother Dave died. He was the younger of the twins. I just can't get a grasp on the enormity of losing my brothers, But the reality is they are gone and I will never see them again. But the reality is that I did have them in my life. Whether we were always close or we understood each other or not God gave us the gift of being siblings. I was blessed to call Bill brother. I miss him and I am sure I always will. He really was a good big brother, I've debated with myself whether to submit this or delete it. I suppose I will just send it through and hope that if anyone reads it they will see that it came from the depths of a grieving heart.

  Bill Comley was the big brother I didn't even know I had. That changed in 2017, when I discovered my heritage through Ancestry.com DNA test. When Bill found out about me, and subsequently the "other" mystery kid, Jeff, he accepted us without question. We were so incredibly blessed that we got to meet him in person last July. My heart felt an immediate connection the first time I spoke to him on the phone. He wouldn't hear "1/2 brother". He embraced me as his sister, immediately. That's just the type of man he was....selfless, kind, self-sacrificing, and incredibly giving and just amazing.

  Millie, Erin, Kristin and all of your families. How heavy my heart is right now wondering how life will be for all of you without this special man in it. I knew him as my big brother, he called me Sis. I loved him too.
