Words won't come together correctly! Billy was an amazing man. Supportive and stern. He always told me what was best and never led me the wrong way. Ill cherish my memories of him. You'll forever be missed. We love you! -kid

My little nephew, I don't understand any of this. You were, your mom’s first son, Mommom and Poppop’s first grandchild, you were a nephew before 1 uncle and 2 aunts were even born!!! We were 4 yrs apart and we remained close through the years, some years more than others. You, Joey D (RIP), Michael and Robert were more like brothers to Johnny Fynes(RIP) myself, Georgie, Sissy and Charlene then aunts and uncle. You will be missed by so many Bill, I know all the gangs up there with you now. You fought so long and hard! I pray you have the most beautiful stallion you’re riding beside the largest lake with your fishing rod in one hand and a cold beer in the other. Our hearts are broken but your suffering is over ❤️‍ Love ya long time. Ray and Barbie Bud ✌

My friend,my brother. The man carried me out of the arena after I was knocked out. Love you and think of you daily.

Billy was a brother to me I was the first person he met when he moved into the old neighborhood.God bless his soul

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
