So many fond memories of our families interacting through all the years of watching our 'sand-lot' neighborhood. You and your family was the best!! The Nero compound was complete, all the kids, the adults and grandparents. A setting for our lives here in Homosassa that was always cherished. My folks, Al & Gladys Di Pasca though the world of all of you also. These memories are ours to hold in our hearts and smile as we think back when all the kids were little, now with their own families. This was a love of nature around here with the Nero's being a major part of the glue. Thank you Bill & Janice, we will see you both again on high.

My memories of you, Uncle Bill, go on and on. You were always there. You were 10 yrs old when I was born. You took care of me on the school bus when I was in kindergarten/1st grade. You carried me on your shoulders. Everyone mentions your stories. Some of the most memorable for me are the UFO, the parrot that ran out of gas, the skunk-ape in Ozello, Alligators eyes. You surprised me with my first car when I was 18. So many memories. You even took us out fishing on your boat. These are memories I will have forever. You are no longer having to endure the unbearable pain you were in. Just dance with the angels and rejoice. Tap us on the shoulder whenever you get the chance to let us know you are there. You will be missed.

I remember the many visits your family made to our house growing up. Larry and Tammy were our favorite buddies. Bill was always a wonderful man and Janice was such a beautiful woman. I am sorry for your loss and pray that you all can find some peace in this hard time. You will truly be missed! LeRoy (dad) is up there waiting to play some music with you again!
