Just received word of Bill's death.
I was with him through Mater Christi and Manhattan and counted him a friend.
He was a good athlete and stand-up guy.
My prayers today at Mass were for Billy and his family.

Just heard about Bill's passing in the St. John's / Mater Christi Alumni Newsletter. It caused me to pause and reflect on a great guy and to touch base with friends from those high school years - sometimes we wait too long to connect. Bill - though much too early - you have now found peace in the "field of dreams". Your memory lives on - meet you at Harry's Luncheonette before and after school. Miss you.

My condolences to the Hannafin family...I remember Billy as a powerhouse... the consummate all-around athlete as well as being a great guy. A rarity in this day and age.
His exit stage left, has not gone unnoticed and is truly a loss to all of us vibrating in the instant parallel universe...
Owed to Bill
O Billy boy,
You really tagged one this...
