Bill: Someday I will meet you again at St Peter's Golf and Country Club. Ask him for an early tee time. Up there you don't have to hit 'em long. They always go in the hole. I hope you always have the winds at your six. Bob

To the Deegan Family,

We are thinking of you all during this very difficult time. I am thankful I had the priviledge of meeting Mr. Deegan. His warmth and good humor left a lasting impression. I distinctly remember observing he and Cheryl together at Alex's wedding. I thought to myself, I hope to some day feel love with a spouse like they showed to each other and after so many years together. I also enjoyed seeing his banter with Alex on Facebook, in particular about our fellow Tar Heels. Mr. Deegan will live on in his two amazing children and grandchildren.

We are so very sorry for your loss and hope your wonderful memories will help carry you through the coming days, months and years.
Mr. Deegan will be missed by many, near and far.

To all of Bill's family, especially Alex, who was so special to our family during his college days at Davidson. We remember Bill cheering with us during the boys' great soccer games. Our son, Pete, was a teammate and remains a close friend. Our hearts are sad in his passing.

I was blessed to have met Bill (Colonel) Deegan when we were working as contractors at Lackland. I was also privileged enough to have played a few rounds of golf with him as well as seeing/visiting he & Cheryl at Spurs' games. He indeed was a kind, thoughtful person, a gentleman and someone who enjoyed life and living. I was sorry to hear of his passing and know that while it is our earthly loss it is Heaven's gain. My sincere condolences to the entire Deegan family and friends. He indeed will be missed but not forgotten.

In the flower, it sets free the perfume;
in the chrysalis, the butterfly;
in man, the soul."
