The epitome of hardwood floor installation and maintenance - a master of talent. So shocked and saddened. Great guy.

Dearest Billy, So many memories I could share with you. Some of the best times in our lives were shared with your parents. The laughs we had. Michael and Billy truly loved each other and they had so much fun together. We were so touched when you came to Michaels Fundraiser. My favorite memory was when they were working together. Michael came home and was still laughing. He said we were sitting on the back of the truck and Billy said a fly just went in my eye1 Michael said how do you know?...

Dad, today I had to lay you to rest. We had such an outpouring of support. I knew you touched many peoples lives, but never knew to what level. My heart aches so much without you here. You were such a huge part of my life. I love you so much Dad, you were my best friend

Billy always brought a great attitude and sense of humor to the job site. We would always spend the first half hour or so joking around and catching up on family and life stuff. He took real pride in his work, always ready to show (lots and lots) of pictures of his most recent jobs. I never had the heart to tell him they all looked the same:).

The customers loved him, as did we all.
I will miss him dearly.

I already miss his smiling face at all family events, may the wonderful memories sustain all his many family and friends

My deepest condolences to Bill's family.
I am heart broken. I will miss Billy greatly.
My Son's and I loved when Billy and Jason came into the shop. Always a smile and a few laughs, many at Billy's expense.

I will think of him often and fondly.

Mr. Collins,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the USN during the Cold War. Millions of Americans slept safe at night because you and your fellow Servicemen stood ready to defend our Country. And to your Family and loved ones. I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
