This Poem was written by Billy for someone very special in his life...
The poem you hold in your hands is a very special poem, Not just because it says something I want you to know today and that I want you to remember forever. Within the words of this poem I want to say that You are INCREDIBLY SPECIAL to me. You are so IMPORTANT to my days and so ESSENTIAL to the smile within me. That certain space where our lives Overlap is the place that brings me the most understanding, The most peace, and a joy that comes to my HEART so CONSTANTLY. When you hold this in your hands, I want you to think of me smiling softly at you, and thanking you....for all that you are........to me...."who loves you baby".......Love,Billyboy
All the memories, all the love are in our hearts forever...my world is forever changed......

Billy was part of a great group of friends that grew up in our little corner of Massapequa. Bill being a bit younger then me, hanging out at the Metropolitan [ and sometimes doing foolish stuff ] I'll always remember him as a good athlete, surfer , high energy funny guy .Later when I was in NY in the mid 80's I saw him as Billy Jackit at a show and was impressed by his ability and fan following . It was good seeing him a few years ago in Ca. I'll miss him .My codolences to Dennis ,Betty and John
