Dear Judy and Family,
We were very sorry to hear about Billy's death. We are in Florida and unable to attend services. We remember the great faith he had in Jesus, as he witnessed at the St. Lawrence bible study. May your knowledge of his personal relationship with the Lord bring you peace.

God Bless,
Richard and Sheila Petrucci

I've only known Bill for a short time but I know that his strong belief in Jesus as his savior gave him peace in the last days. Also the support of friends and family. I'll miss his smile,but I know he is at peace with the lord.

Dear Judy, Wanda and Billy,
I was so saddened to learn of cousin Bill's death. The last time I saw him was at my father's funeral, and I can tell you that it was so good to see him then. As we all grow older, it becomes more difficult to be living so far away, but please know that I hold you all in my heart, and especially cousin Bill. There will be a time when our family will no longer be separated by death or geography. As you walk through this time of dark wilderness, remember to look up. That's where the light is.

I grew up listening to "Brother Bill" on WPRO and later he came to WARA in Attleboro, Ma for a short time to help out another radio host.
My thoughts & prayers are with his loving family & friends. May God bless him & his family through this very sad time!

Judy and Family..I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know he is at peace now but Judy I can still see you and Billy taking your walks around the complex. May GOD give you strength. You are in my thoughts. He lived his life the way he wanted and was true to his beliefs. As you know I had my own cancer battle. If I can be of any comfort to you please contact me I live at #86 Sunflower. Peace be with all of you.

Dear Judy, Wanda, Billy & Family,
As you know, my sisters & I have all experienced sickness. We took the wellness path that we were told was best for our situations. I admire Billy for taking the path he felt was best for him. He was the brave pioneer that we all wish we could be. I truly believe that he was welcomed into his new life by all our family members that have gone before him. His spirituality has been comforting to me at this time and will serve me well in the future.
Our thoughts & prayers are with you at this time. We love you,
Susan, Ray, Alaina

Despite his "limited" role as I went through High School in the early/mid70's, Brother Bill, along with the rest of the WPRO personalities, paved the way for my 30 plus radio career. Sleep Brother Bill. And may peace be with you.

Judy, Wanda and Billy Jim ~ I am so very sorry for your physical loss. However, I celebrate his new journey ~ his spiritual journey. One that will reunite him with those in our family who have gone before us. ( I truly believe that his Mom, Grandma and my dad were there to help him cross over ). With a journey that one day, will bring him to Our Lord's mansion. Love, Allison
