My cousin Bill has become very precious to me through e-mail in these last years.I have always appreciated his gift for words and his interest in so many areas of life. He had an exceptional gift for humor and always his letters always encouraged me.
I will miss him greatly. May all his family be comforted in knowing that he was greatly loved by all who knew him.

I had the privilege of working with Billy at the tomato slaughter house for a number of years. Tremendous person with a terrific personality. We had many discussions from plant politics to purchasing land on Hatch road. Billy will be missed by the world for his in depth thinking and common sense. For his family, you have a new guardian angle watching out for you. God's speed Billy to your eternal rest.
