William G. Hesch

What a tremdous loss to the Capital District Music Scene!

My condolences to the family and to all of Billy's friends. We had the pleasure to have him listen and sit in with us last summer at the Mill Road Tavern, while I was with Joe's Boys.

It was wonderful to see him and chat with him again, and it was a pleasure to have him play with us!

We will miss him!

Although I only knew Bill less than a year, I enjoyed a number of recent conversations that we had about music. Bill performed with me and my band last summer, and we greatly enjoyed his guest appearance. We are certain that he is playing lead guitar in the greatest all-star band right now.

My deepest sorrow goes out to the Billy's mother, father, sister, and brothers. I'll never forget him and the times we had on Garfield Place. Thanks.

To my best friend Billy. What can i say. I knew Billy since the 7th grade at Blessed Sacrament. Working with Billy and playing in bands with him and his brother Jimmy were no doubt an inspiration to me and my music growing up. I'll never forget the times we had just talking about music and all the groups we enjoyed listening too. I remember when Billy picked up the guitar for the first time and almost instantly started playing it. i was amazed. No doubt Billy, you were the best. I also want...

Our condolences to Julie and her family.
We hope happy memories carry you through
this difficult time. God Bless.

I want to take a few moments to tell you about my brother, Billy. My brother loved his wife and daughters with all his heart. He married the woman he was truly made for. He was a wonderful husband and father. Thank you, Julie, for understanding Bill and taking care of him. My brother was not easily understood -- he was WONDERFULLY unusual. I'll never come across another like him. My brother possessed a God-given talent. It was music. In fact, my mother sensed his musical interest when he was...

My heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to my friend Jim and his family during their time of sorrow. These times of loss are truly a reminder to treasure each other as we don't know how long we may have together. God Bless you all.

Uncle Billy,
You were a neat uncle. I really wish you were around a little longer than just 47 years. But we'll all remember the good times and bad times and sad times and happy times.
See ya later, Love ya lots.
Dana
