In addition to his wife, Bill is survived by his two sisters, Nan DiNitto and Sonya Masso; his two sons, David and William Champion and grandsons Ian and Steven Champion. Bill also leaves behind his step-children, Luc and Corinne Lafayette as well as many family and friends who remember him for his laughter and love of New England sports; especially the Patriots and Red Sox .
