Not sure what to say?

There isn't anything I can add to what I wrote when Billy passed in 2017. I was so blessed to have him in my life then, and eventually Gillian, and then their boys. It's rather a different world now in 2023, but I'm still blessed as I can smile & feel the warmth of so many memories whenever I want. My love to Gillian, Billy and Michael and their families.

Bill was a wonderful guy. We hung around at Coral Gables High. So sorry to hear of his passing.

To Gillian, Billy Jr and Julia, Michael and Jennifer, Lukas, Lucy, Nathan and Nicholas, To be able to put into words what your husband, father, and grandfather brought to my life and my family's is so difficult because he was so special. Billy and I became best friends 57 years ago and we continued that friendship every day since. I bless Gillian every day for respecting and sharing the bond between Billy and I. Over the years Billy became my hero...time or distance was of no consequence....

My good friend, SCUBA partner, brother that I wish you were, I morn your passing deeply and have tears in my eyes knowing that we could not have seen each other more in life. Rest well in your Chapter Eternal and though we were not Brothers, I salute you as if you were: IN HOC SIGNO VINCES. We will meet again one day when my time is also up on this earth. Bless you always.

My deepest sympathies. May the God of all comfort strengthen the entire family during this time of sorrow. Keep in mind that God keeps in his memory those whom we lose because they are precious in his eyes. (Psalms 116:15)

What a sad loss for your family. I have fond memories of his wide knowledge and huge enthusiasm hor horse racing during a visit. We had such fun talking about an ill advised share I'd bought in a useless horse. I only wished I'd had his knowledge to draw on before purchase.
I also benefitted from his
kind and open hearted hospitality. A loss to all of us who met him.

I'm so sorry for your loss. He was a very nice man. I know he will be genuinely missed throughout the community, and your family. XOXOXO
