Truly sorry to hear of this tragedy. Although I have been away from The City since 1979, I will always remember our street softball and football games and "Little Billy" joining in the games. My heart goes out to The Deely Family.

So sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He was always kind and generous and I have fun memories of him, including our softball team, going to Giants games and watching 49ers at his house. More recently when going to 49er games I got to enjoy his sense of humor and passion for the SF Pro teams.

Bill was a true friend. Very fond memories of Bill from St Paul´s to Sacred Heart and our close friend group that stayed together after high school. From times up on Duncan Street hill, playing softball for Manny´s Marauders, and pool parties in Sonoma, we had some great times. The Deely's were always a great St Paul´s family. My condolences to you all during this very difficult time.

Billy was a great and loyal friend. I have many fond memories of growing up together, from going to St Paul's and Sacred Heart. Playing softball, watching the 49niners at Duncan St with the infamous Bev Deely 7-layer dip. Also, many great times at the Sonoma house around the pool. May your family be filled with many fond memories of you in this time of grief. Love from Dennis and Barby Galvin
