The Forelli family, Billy, Maggie and Matt were Old Greenwich's dynasty. Fun loving, creative, sharing people who made a difference in our lives. All of the memories would fill a 1,000 page book. They were all originals and we must all try to live our own lives as they did as as each moment matters.

I will always remember Billy, Mathew, one of my Brother's Fred Steinberg's dearest child hood friend, and Maggie, my other brother Bob Steinberg's friend. Billy, Mathew, and Maggie were very unique, and unforgettable! I'm sending warm wishes to their family members, and friends! Love, Bonnie Steinberg

I am so sorry to learn that Billy has passed away and extend my sympathies to his extended family and friends. I remember Billy so well because of my close relationship with Matt for so many years. Billy, indeed, was unique but such a kind hearted and fun soul. Difficult to accept that the Forelli siblings - Matt, Maggie and Billy - have all left us in little more than a year. Wonderful family and friends.
God Bless.

Dear Capt. Billy,
I will never forget your Block Island wake up call, Dixie style, how a party erupted any time you drove down Shagbark Rd., and of course your oh so artful 'stash curled at each end. I really was in awe of you and never got to tell you that as an adult. This will be a regret I will have to live with, but knowing you're 'up there' and can say hi to mom &Jack makes it a little easier. :)
My childhood was more far more colorful because of your presence in our lives.
My deepest sympathies to your family and friends.
