Bill was employed by Eastman Kodak for 35 years, spending many years traveling to the company’s international subsidiaries. He was very active in the Junior Chamber of Commerce, serving as Youth Vice President and Board Chairman.

Bill was an extremely generous and kind gentleman, with a keen eye for numbers and details. He will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved him. There will be no calling hours - his family will hold a private memorial service. Donations may be made to the Greece Town Library in memory of Geraldine and William Welsh.
