Not sure what to say?

Billy was a true friend great sense of humor and at parties he was a nice man. Miss you Bill

Memories of Bill Paolantonio will ever light up vividly in my mind. As bright, competent and funny as he was, he could have succeeded in any endeavor he chose, AND he succeeded in making life beautiful for others. He was an Everyman who walked with kings while maintaining the common touch.

Hard to. Believe he´s been gone that long that long. What a great guy and fellow Temple Grad miss you Billy

Today I was thinking of Bill; an amazing guy I held in high regard when I first started in television around 1986. Upon Googling his name, I was deeply saddened to see he had passed back in 2014. I regret not keeping up our friendship after leaving Woody Fraser Productions in 1992. He was a joy to be around. His producing partner, Earl Durham, and his wife Becky were always giving of their time and hearts. I will never forget the laughs we had, and especially our time working on crazy pilots...

Dale said it all he was a nice man someone to look up too We miss the days at Temple the whole gang in the hall.great sense of humor and his impersonations he had valor.

Your memory is very much alive. Rest peacefully

So sorry to hear of this. He was always a joy to be around during our Temple U. years. My thoughts and prayers go to his extended family

Becky...Billy was always a joy to be with he would make us laugh and that was a tough thing to do since all of the RTF hall people were always trying to outdo our fellow classmates in the days at TEMPLE Univ...he .. and tails of his father the Coach..I had a bout of C 15 years ago and I know what my wife went thru. I shall keep you and your family in our prayers.I had not kept in touch after he went to LA.. but everytimg I saw his name in the credits on the tube ,,I would tell me friends...

Bill was first with a joke and first to lend a helping hand. He was passionate about his work but he never took himself too seriously. A lot of my favorite memories from Temple University include Billy and the RTF crowd. He was full of life. My heart goes out to his family.
