William M. McGee A consummate gentleman If the benchmarks of a person's life include integrity, honesty, kindness, humility, generosity, and moderation in all things, so defines the life of William “Bill” Morrison McGee, who depa Read Obituary
I am so sorry to learn of Bill’s passing. He defined refined grace and dignity to me. From the minute, I entered the McGee -Roman household (where I was graciously greeted with my favorite cocktail), to a sumptuous meal out on terrace at Seagull Drive prepared by either John or Bill. The food was divine, the company always engaging, and everyone felt quite special to be there. Bill, I know that you are walking with the Gods now.

John,
My deepest sympathy- so difficult to realize we won’t have Bill’s artistic eye to grace our world. I regret we never had the opportunity for you and Bill to give me some pointers on how to decorate. I will live vicariously through the sage advice you and Bill have showered Adele with. May Bill be at peace surrounded by family and friends and beautiful things.
Fondly, Patrice
I count myself Blessed to have been invited to know and work for John & Bill in their exquisite home doing service for several dinner parties. The table settings so gorgeous with every detail addressed. Serving cocktails to guests, each one being very gracious. It’s true that you can know a person by the company they keep! I often knew several of their dinner guests and every one of them had in common an elegant demeanor yet not above taking the time to chat with me (the help) Bill always seemed to “float” through the room silently checking that each place setting on the table was perfectly spaced and complete. He politely greet each guest and smile sincerely. I’m sure that I may never know another icon of style and gentility…..other than his partner John. My heart breaks for this loss of such an example of class, kindness and elegance.
May God take him into His Loving Embrace
I have often thought of Bill during the past few years and have missed seeing him and John at the market. I used to to precede or follow Bill and John in the market's coffee duty and always enjoyed having the opportunity to spend a little time with them. Bill was my model for coffee service, but I could never match the patience and charm with which he served each customer. As many of written, he was a true gentleman.

The obituary captures Bill so well. He and John were icons at the Historic Lewes Farmers Market, graciously serving coffee to so many for so many years with that wonderful warm smile. We were fortunate to have won the first HLFM dinner that was auctioned off. It was at their house. They made it such an amazing experience. Their hospitality and graciousness were unsurpassed.
Bill exuded an inner calm and a kindness. Bill also was only one of two person I knew from Brazil, Indiana. The other was my father.
May Bill rest in peace, a peace he so richly deserves. A hole is left in the community, but we can fill it with wonderful memories of such a fine gentleman. In the meantime, we send love and support to John and Bill’s entire family.
