Dr. O'Neill was really a wonderful person. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Please know that he touched our lives in an extremely positive way. Dr. O'Neill treated us like family - he even came to our wedding where we met his lovely wife. Then he was there to help me stay well while I was pregnant. Dr. O'Neill was a good man, friend and doctor. He will be sadly missed.

Love, Dan, Barbara and Kelly Orsino

My sincerest sympathy to Shawn and the O'Neill family. I am grateful that my son, Aaron, has had the privilege to know Dr. O'Neill, and for the friendship you all have shown Aaron over the past many years. My heart and prayers go out to you in your time of grief and loss. May God grant you peace and bless you with a lifetime of beautiful memories of Dr. O'Neill.

Billy was the best friend a person could ever have, compassionate, sincere and just nice to be around. We all grew up together and had many great experiences, which we laughed about everytime we were together which was not as much as we both wanted. God Bless You Billy, I will miss you very much.

Bill will always be remembered as someone I met later in life, who I grew to have much affinity and respect for. I loved to tease him about his Italian appetite and love for various restaurants. I extend my deepest sympathy to you Joanne and your family. Bill was so proud of you, all. With love, Dominick and Rosie DiSabatino

I'm so sorry for your family's loss. What a passionate person the world has lost. His love for his family and zest for life was a lesson for us all. I most remember listening to him speak of Tuscany and Italy (or as he called it "the Old Country"). I just loved to listen. He will be missed greatly.
