Happy Valentine’s my love; I wish you were here to celebrate with me …
And make reality all our plans for this special day in Florida,

I'm Jill - Billly's sis-in-law in California. Cannot write in words the ways that Bill is missed & that we seek ways for his memory to live on.
I am with Stephen , Gaill & Tony & and several friends and at half time of the game we just planted a lime tree given to Gail by a close friend and christend it with Corona. We called Maria & Jooosephhhhhh at halftime halftime & basically laugh & cry our way through most get togethers. Live, Love, Laugh - Bill's family

We are sad to hear of Bill's passing. Our condolences to the Penman family and to Bill's friends. Our hearts go out to everyone that loved him.

My love, Since the first time I met you, I knew you were different, there was something about you something unique , that I could not figure out, I tried so many times to find excuses of why we should not be together. I tried to ignore you but I just couldn't’t ...your smile and your funny face kept me coming back. Your daily phone calls about your friends at work or what you were doing that moment just kept me going no matter how hard the day was for me. I waited everyday for your calls. I...

To all or whoever knew Billy: Billy (my Teddy) was a great hearted person. I grew up with Billy! I will never forget him saying to my 2 year old at His mom's house. " Jesse we are going to have Pissgetti tonight". " Velaine is cooking" (Bill's Mom) As my son could not say Spaghetti. He loved all and gave alot to the community. His smile and teasing was always a blast. Swim parties in the backyard. Watch out for Billy! (he liked the girls with the Bikini's!
I would never want to...

I am sorry for your loss

To The Penman Family,
My family and I are so blessed to have been able to spend Thanksgiving holidays with Billy. I will never forget our day in San Francisco after his brother Stephen and Jill got married. Gail and I had so much fun visiting The Buena Vista Cafe' and exploring the local art vendors. Being with Billy and his family was always so entertaining. His humor and generosity will be missed forever!
Love Cindy and Rich

Bill and I first met while working at GE. While working together over the years, we discovered we had common interests: love of football, travel, gambling, a little drinking. In that short time, it felt like I gained a brother. I will miss Bill coming over to watch football on Sundays, going out to dinner with my wife and Maria or him calling just to check in.
There will be an empty chair at our Superbowl party in his honor. Even though I only knew him for a short time, I will remember him...
