Bill was my boss and friend when I worked for Bill Sr. and Phil at ESB back in the 70's and 80's. Bill was a funloving guy and we had fun going to the Pro Boxing matches back in the day. I will always have fond memories of him.

I first met Billy in the late 60's, He was the most fun loving person I've ever met. We didn't see each other too much in the next few decades - but everytime we saw each other in the ensuing decades he always told me his "hat" would always be in the ring for me! God bless you Billy and your family. The joy you gave to so many people will be greatly missed! God bless you Billy and your family.

Carolyn, Billy, Chris, Michelle and baby,
Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband, dad, father-in-law, and soon to be grandfather. We all have so many memories of him - whether it's making us laugh by telling a story, or by simply looking for trouble. R.I.P Billy, you fought a courageous battle. Hope you've found a card player or two in heaven. If one of them is Auntie Annie, I'm sure she's already tore up a deck!

Liz, I just saw Billy's name in the Obit page. You and I talked just days ago about my sister's death and Billy's transition to Hospice care.
Please accept my sincere condolences to you and Marie and all of Billy's family. Growing up with big brothers, Billy and Emmet, gave us even more in common.
My prayers are with you, Marie and all of the extended Farhet family. I will be with you very soon to celebrate his life.
Love, Sheila
