I met Billy while I was bartending on St. Pete Beach and Sunset Beach. He was always in a good mood and happy. I hope he is in a good and happy place now. God Bless.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.
Billy was my neighbor many years ago on St Pete Beach. He was always smiling and laughing , an avid sports fan who spoke so fondly of his Family and his years growing up on LI. He will be missed by all.
