Billy was one of the best dressed of us all. An old friend of mine and his brothers. God speed Bill.

I worked with Bill when I was 16 at Yale Genton . Best dressed kid I ever saw. He took me under his wing and showed me the ropes on selling clothes. I always enjoyed Bill and his stories. Bigger than life.

Rebecca My sincere condolences in Bill's passing. Bill and I were friends since the early 60' in Brightwood Rest in Peace Bill.
