It was always a pleasure to see Billy on his annual trip down to Florida. All of us at Kitty O'Shea's will miss him greatly. He was a great man. God Bless

I worked with Billy for over 25 years at Gillette. He was a hard worker and a good friend. Since he retired, we had many conversations and always shared a few laughs together. I, along with many of his Gillette co-workers, will certainly miss Billy.

Are deepest sympathies to Bills family for your loss.
Bill was a great guy, and will certainly be missed. Will miss our long conversations about the Sox.
