Hello my forever friend,
Hard to believe 14 years have passed since I've seen your beautiful face or heard your contagious laugh or just watched you enjoying the simple, most precious things in life, anything regarding nature and you were all about it. I really miss you Bill. You were truly a wonderful human; one of a kind. RIP my friend, in my heart forever, xo
Barb.

Hello Billy "Wilber"!!
I am writing to check in and say hi on this site, although we communicate through prayers often. It´s hard to believe 13 years ago we lost you! You are mentioned often amongst our family and friends of the many memorable times we had together. I can see and hear you; Paddy, Pops and others getting fired up for our Eagles & Phillies are doing great and helping us enjoy life´s pass times! I know you´re all looking over Mom and helping her in ways you can help, I believe that and I am thankful!! Keep the laughs going up there; we often recite the many laughs you provided us. We all miss that and we miss You! We know you are in a special place with Pops, Grams, Paddy, Joey, and many more of our family & friends in the afterlife together.
Billy I am signing off now I will talk to you often in our prayers until we are united again.

Love You!!!
Sincerely
Pete, family & friends.

Hello Billy,
Billy ~ Hard to believe it's 13 years... When I think of you, I smile & shake my head at the same time; just still so hard to believe. You were such a gentle soul & great human being, it's always the good ones that leave us too soon. Well, RIP my friend, forever in my heart, watch over us, xo

We learned so much with you and made great memories together. You mom misses you everyday, don't think she will ever get over losing you... She's been thru a lot.

FOR THE LEGACY BOOK ON OCT. 3, 2021 - FOR BILLY

Billy, I miss you so much!! You were always my best friend, and we thought so much alike. You were never too busy to pick up the phone when I called, and listened to whatever I wanted to say. It is so tragic you left at such a young age.. It will be the anniversary of when you left on Oct. 3rd, and even though almost 2 decades have passed, I am still lost without you. I love you forever and always. You were always such a great son and even as a little boy, you rarely complained if things didn't go right. You are just a really special human being: kind to animals, and so intelligent too. Great musical and artistic talent, and always a hard worker... always had a job even in high school.. Worked hard for everything you ever got, and not many young people today can say that!!

I will write again soon; Say hello to your brother for me. I hope you two are able to watch the Eagles and all the sports you love.. Also hope you two can watch The Sopranos whenever you want. When I see ads from that show I always think of you and Paddy.
I will write soon, and hug your Pop-pop and grandmom for me too. I miss you and love you forever.
Mom(my)

I didn't forget your birthday, Billy. I couldn't find "legacy" in this chrome book computer!! But here I've found something, so I will tell you again how terribly I miss you every day of my life.. A gigantic loss losing my Billy.. I'm sure you know, in that limitless "universe" that I realize you are there... Only the best are part of everlasting life somewhere in the universe: you are one of those souls... very special. I'm sure you went to Paddy, and brought him with you to safety too.
Not much has changed with Allison, your scoot. I know you'd be insisting to her to finish her 4th year of college. She needs you, Billy!! Peter is not taking well to being the "only" son to help me. He wants me out of this house years ago. He's right but somehow I'm stuck and can't get out of the rut. I wish you were here.
Peter is not taking well to having an "elderly" mother... I was always so independent,
Anyway, I'm sorry it took so long to get your birthday wishes on here. I will write again later. Happy Birthday in Heaven, Will. I love you always and forever. Mom(my)

Billy, I love you and miss you more.... not less... as time moves on. I knew I could count on Barbara to remember you and write to you. Also your brother Peter has written a beautiful note too. He loves you so much and misses you as much as anyone in this world could miss their brother!! I hope your nephew writes you soon, and I know he will. He loves you and misses you so much with the Eagles and playing cards with the guys. No one was funnier than you, or smarter. I'm sure you know what a mess it is down here on Planet Earth. This weird virus and the arrogant President we have now who had made it all much, much worse. Hundreds of Thousands ...gone!
If you were here, I'm sure we would both be discussing all this. I'll try to see if I can get Scoot (Allison) to write to you on your guestbook. Meanwhile, I carry you in my heart every single day, and there's a huge piece of my heart missing because you're not here with us. Please let Paddy know how much I miss him and try to keep close to Vinnie and Nicky.. I will love you always and forever... Love, Mom(my)

Morning Bill,
How in the world could it be 10 years since I have seen you... We think of you often and smile because of the memories we have created. Wow, I miss you a lot and your memory will always & forever live within me. I hope you're growing a beautiful garden and jamming-out up in heaven. RIP my special friend and give me a sign from time to time to keep me believing in heaven, xo

Pete Perfetti

October 1, 2020

Hi Billy "Wilber", I am writing you because I have been thinking about you and missing you very much! I can't believe this Saturday will be 10 years since God took you to heaven! Without you and Paddy here it does get sad thinking Mommy and I only have each other left out of 4 sons. We had so many years together of great times and supporting each other through hard times too! Now we are missing you guys and the great family bonds! I pray daily and speak to all 3 of my brothers through my prayers, asking God to open your ears and hear me. I pray you are with Paddy, Joey, Pops, Grams and all the rest of our family up there in the after life! Keep the fun and laughs going strong up there for I look forward to seeing you all again when it's my time to go! The Eagles, Phillies and Sixers are making this COVID pandemic more depressing and we can't wait to find a vaccine and get back to our normal lives down here! If you can have a little talk with the powers above ask them to help find the genius down here to create a vaccine soon. The Flyers did help us a bit as they looked real good but were eliminated after 2 rounds in the playoffs but I'm sure you guys know this lol.. Well my big brother I am signing off now I will talk to you tomorrow in my prayers and everyday until we meet again.

Love You!!!

Pete

Dear Billy: Once again, another beautiful note from Barbara. Thank you, Barbara. She never forgets you and is truly a pure and loyal friend. I'm waiting for Allison to write something. I will send her the link as sometimes it's hard to find the page. Love, Mom(my)

Hello my friend and happy heavenly birthday. I miss you and will never forget you. I was watching a show on Netflix called Ozark and the main mob man resembled you... I said to Shelby, who do you think that looks like and she said... Bill :) So, know that you will never be forgotten and are always in our prayers and thoughts. We love you, xo. Happy Birthday my friend.

PATRICIA PERFETTI

April 21, 2020

Today is your birthday, April 21st. You were born about 5:25 pm on a Sunday IN 1963. Took forever for you to get here, but you were so outstanding with that beautiful head of hair and beautiful face, you were a standout at 9lbs4oz, Well, we all miss you, but I love you so much I miss you all the time. You were such a comfort to be with.. and you were so intelligent and FUNNY!! Everyone says no one ever made them laugh like you could. Well I wanted to make sure I wrote you a birthday note, and I think maybe Joey, Allison, and your brother might write you. I'd like to get more of your friends drop you a note too...Maybe Cousin Gina or Larry will write something.., AND I'M SURE your great friend Barbara will not forget you; she never does. She moved from Kendrick St., which is sort of sad.. I don't know why, but anyway.... I will try to write more often Billy. Give Paddy a hug for me, and my dad and mom and Baby Joey. Love always and for eternity, Your Mother Happy Birthday in Heaven!!

Patricia aka(Mom(my) Perfetti

October 4, 2019

My dear Billy,... It's the 9th year we have had to face without you. You were so great, so smart, so funny, so talented. I miss you so much, as does Allison, who speaks of you often and loves you so much and misses you. Another tragedy is that she lost you.
I see your devoted friend, Barbara, wrote you a beautiful note, and I know you two would have been great friends forever. She really misses you. Also your nephew, Joey still talks about how much he loves you and misses you. And Peter is permanently wounded without your presence in his life. He loves you always!!

Little Sprinkles is gone,...about 18 months ago or more, she was taken to vet with Crystal, who stayed with her the whole time, so your Sprinky wasn't alone. She was about 14 years old at least.

You'd get a big kick out of your great nephew, Joey, Jr. -- He would love you too. Everyone did.
Well, goodnight Billy. You know how much your mother misses you and loves you every day. I hope out in the 2 billion mile universe, there's a place for the best, the kindest, and there you are, along with your Pop, Gram, brother Paddy, and more... all of whom loved you unconditionally.
I love you and miss you forever, my Billy..
Mom(my) xxxxoooo

Morning Bill,

I cannot believe it's 9 years that you have not been here. I still shake my head in despair that you are not here. I'm sorry but you know what, I'm angry and I think it's unfair, because you did not deserve this and you really got the short end of the stick my friend! I didn't intend to write these words, I don't want to upset anyone, but we were friends Bill and I miss you, I miss you very much!

You were always good at blowing things off. All the negative in the world and you would just ignore it and be happy in your world in your garden, or screaming like a madman over the Eagles or disputing politics with your Mom. Yes, I miss your voice and your laugh. I remember how great you were with Allie and Shelby when they were small. Shelby would get up extra early on the weekends and run to the window and say mom, he's up, he's outside, can I go out mom, lol, those were great times!

Miss you my friend, take care of you and I know I will see you in Heaven someday. As we always said no matter what Forever friends, xo

Hey Daddy,

I wished you a Happy Birthday in my heart, but wanted to write something on here. Even though you were not here, I had a wonderful day on your Birthday. It was such a beautiful day and surprisingly I went to Church this year since your bday was on Easter. I felt awesome all day, had a great one for you. I hope you watch over me and bless me always. I miss you so much since summer is approaching, but I know Spring was your favorite time of year. Wish we could go fishing on our big rock in Pennypack Woods. Tell Pat and Sprinkles I love/miss them too.
Love you forever,
Your Scoot

Barb

April 26, 2019

Bill,

Can't believe I got this notification and I too got caught up in life and missed saying happy birthday to you. Happy birthday my friend, you are missed! You were the best neighbor and friend anyone could ask for. You taught me a lot about taking care of a home and about life.

You were a big gentle soul and your mom is right, you should still be here because you were a great person and you loved life. It was always the little things and life's things that meant so much to you ~ like the sunshine, flowers growing, catching a fish or watching an Eagles game and going crazy when they won I would laugh every time they scored because you would scream and cheer so proud & loudly that it was just a beautiful thing

I know were not supposed to question things, but you deserved so much more than you ever received You heart was big and beautiful and your laugh was one of a kind I miss your voice Bill ~ I can close my eyes and still hear it. RIP my friend, always in my heart, xo

Patricia (Mom(my) Perfetti

April 24, 2019

Billy, I cannot believe your birthday went by and I haven't written you, as I do every single year without fail!! I miss you so much; you are in my heart and soul every single day, but sometimes it's rough down here, especially without you. Spring is here... your favorite time of year, fishing and planting new flowers and your garden of vegetables. You were the best!! I would have given you my house for sure, as I know how much you always loved it. Being the artist that you are, and interest and talent with architecture, you appreciated this old victorian house.

I know you could read my thoughts when your birthday came and went, so you knew I didn't forget... I just wish you were here to stay again..., not for a day, but for all the years you should have been here, which would take you well into your 80's or 90's. At only 47 years old, it was a tragedy and a shock to lose you.

Allison is doing ok, except you know she left college temporarily, after finishing 3 years...she vows she will continue the 4th year probably at Community College. She did not like Kutztown college.

I am surprised Barbara hasn't written to you for your birthday, and I know you will always be in her heart forever... I reminded Peter to write something to you, but so far he hasn't. He is deeply hurt over losing you. And also your brother Paddy. Two brothers gone. Your nephew, Joey misses you really bad too... Don't know if you realize how irreplaceable you are.. Your sense of humor, and intelligence... One of a kind great kid.

Love you always. It burns in my heart just missing you every day. I hope you are out in the billions of miles wide universe, in a special planet just for the best people on earth to continue in a happy everlife..

Love you forever from day One when you were born. Happy Belated Birthday . xxxooo Mom(my)

Hello Wilbur Billy my big brother I'm checking in on this site Incase you read this but you know I talk to you and Paddy Pat all the time I know you both hear me and are looking over all of your family. We miss your funny personality and leadership in our family everyday! Holidays and get together aren't the same without you! I know you and Paddy are in heaven doing the fun things together and someday we will join you. Until then continue to look after Mommy and Allison the best you can they are missing you soooo much and you meant the world to them! Sprink Sprinks is now with you and hope you take her fishing and everywhere you go just like old times! I know your in the best place wherever you are because you earned the best in your life on earth! Football season is around the corner and all me and Joey think about is our unity the Eagles brought to us as a tight family! We miss those days with you, Paddy, Jimmy, Charles, Sean, Joey and I all together hanging out together playing cards etc. Just wanted to write what we always talk about in prayers. Have a wonderful day and as always I Love and Miss you both!!!

Dear Bill,
I don't always write to you on here but felt the need to say hello and hope your enjoying your sbre bee as you called our lil pup she was never quite right without you! now she can finially behappy you were truly my soulmate there are things we did and shared no one can share but us too the best gift of all was Allison she is here to remind me of all the good that love can bring regardless of hard times you and I may perish but love never dies I thank god every day for you

Patricia (Mommy) Perfetti

July 2, 2018

Dear Billy: Isn't that a beautiful note your daughter wrote you the other day? There is no way to reconcile us about losing you. We all love you so much, and for good reason: you were always such a warm, funny, intelligent person. I miss you so much; there was only ONE Billy. You were a one of a kind --- a star. Sprinky's health finally went, and she was put to sleep, so out there in the billion mile universe, I feel certain she found her way back to you!!

Watch after your little brother, Pat up in heaven with you, and watch over your brother, Peter, who really misses you EVERY day.. It has hurt him so much losing his brothers, and his Pops and Grandmom!!!

Okay, sweetheart, I just wanted to make sure Allison's message to you got printed, and we are good to go.

I Love you always and forever, Mommy

Allison Perfetti

June 24, 2018

Hey Daddy. I dont think I have written you a message on here for a while, probably a couple years. Im not good at keeping in touch... I miss you everyday and wish you were still here with us. Im glad that you and Uncle Pat are now able to rest up in Heaven with Sprinkles now that shes passed. Hopefully that was a good Fathers Day gift. There has been a lot of struggles going on within the family, but now I realize some of the things you had to deal with when you were here. Now that I am older I realize things now, and it hurts me. I will try to be the bigger person and try to make things right. I appreciate how strong and dedicated you were to keep our family a float, and that youve helped me be okay ever since you passed. Just wish I could give you a big bear hug. Missing and crying about you always... tell Uncle Pat and Sprinks I love them too. Watch over me always Dad, love you forever

April 24, 2018

Hey sorry I am a day late in wishing you a happy birthday, but that is okay I know you know I was thinking about you. I had a long conversation with my new GF Emily about you & Uncle Pat and the impact you guys had on my life & also how close we all were. Celebrating the super bowl was amazing but I wish you were here with us to have enjoyed that moment. Joey Jr. would've been obsessed with you, he is so smart and witty and unique. His sense of humor definitely relates to yours. We all miss you everyday don't forget that!

Love, Joey your nephew

Patriicaq Perfetti

April 22, 2018

Billy,Sorry I am one day late writing for your birthday, but I am so happy to see your great friend and soulmate, Barbara, did not forget, and has a special note for you which I just read.

Of course it's always sad to remind ourselves that this is the day you were born..; a great day, but at the same time, we miss celebrating in some way for you and with you.. No one can ever replace you Billy.. or forget you, so don't you worry about that. I hope your brother writes something for you, and one day maybe I can get Allison to write you. Joey said he would when the Eagles won the superbowl, but so far I don't see it. Maybe he will surprise me. He writes great comments.

I miss you... Love you always.. See you in that huge galaxy wayy out there, and there's plenty of room for all of us there. I'm sure you're hanging out with Paddy. He knows I miss him every day ... all day ... Tell my Mother I miss her...and my daddy too.
Love you, and Happy Birthday to the best kid in any world -- ours and yours.. xxxooo

Dear Billy,
Hope heaven is beautiful & your happy. Sounds crazy to say that, but none of us know for sure, so I hope your with family & friends having birthday cake & sharing some good memories. We miss you very much. Until we meet again, xo my friend .

Patricia (Mommy) Perfetti

February 8, 2018

Dear Billy: I didn't forget you through all this celebration for the Eagles winning the Superbowl last Sunday. You and Paddy were on my mind, and still today I am sad you were not here to enjoy this great victory for your team! I know how much you loved football, and watched every game all through the years, including the great disappointment of the 2004-05 Superbowl where we lost by 3 points to the Patricheats. We got them back last Sunday and defeated them and won!!! The whole city is over the moon and right now they are having the Parade by the Art Musseum and millions of people are there, cheering away. Nick Foles completed the march to the victory. He was awesome. Well, we all miss you and love you forever. You are with us every single day of our lives. We love you so very much. You are irreplaceable; it's that simple. Love, Mommy

October 22, 2017

So sorry, this month got away from me too. Miss you so much. I had some work done at my house & one of the contractors commented that it was good how I shut my water outside & some of the other things I do. It was you that showed me a lot of things about taking care of a house. I would see you do something, then I would just do the same . Not sure what really happens when you go to heaven, but I want to believe all our loved ones are watching over us & in a happy place waiting to be reunited with us some day. Miss & love you,

Patricia Perfetti

October 21, 2017

Hello to my sweetest son,,, I usually always write for you on the anniversary of when you left us, but this year I blinked and half of October is gone already. But you know, Billy, I would never let you down. I know you depend on these little notes.. At least I prefer to think maybe you do..

Allison is in college, soon to come back for Thanksgiving holiday. She is a spectacular kid, Billy.. She takes so much after you!!

I hope Peter writes a little something to you.. I know you love to know he misses you and loves you always. Of course, Barbara, your No. 1 fan will never forget to write.. and I'm sure she always will for this anniversary of you leaving us, for your birthday, etc.

Tell Paddy we miss him something awful.. Watch over your little brothers. I hope you're with your Pop and Grandmom. Pops always loved you so much!!

Stay with me, Billy.. I know you do. Love and miss you always and forever,

Mommy

Dear Billy,... I've been thinking of you all week knowing your birthday is coming up. You know I would never forget you, and I see your great friend, Barbara has already written to you for your birthday today!! I'm not surprised at all, and I am happy you have such a devoted friend who loves you!! I hope your brother and a few of your friends will write something too Well, you just turned a year older, as it is 5:27 PM, and you were born at 5:18 PM..

I really miss you, my precious son... every day ... without missing a beat. Who wouldn't miss such a great person as you are, let alone have it be your own son!!

Allison had a few bumps in the road with her car of which she has a couple tickets. It seems her policy was tied to Peter's, and somehow hers got mixed up and she knew nothing about it. So I'm sure you know all about it as you see so much more now than we will ever see down here.
Well, Happy Birthday in heaven, Will. I love you and miss you something awful!! So smart, so funny, so kind, so talented, so great!!!
Now I can't ask you about anything. I miss your brilliance on seeing things and your opinions.
Well hug your baby brother up there with you... and your Pop and Grams and my Grandmom Callery.. I loved her and often now think of her and miss her, even though I grew up 400 miles away and hardly spent time with her.

I love you always and forever, Billy. I really miss your loyalty.

Love, Mommy xxxooo

My dear Billy... We love you so much, and miss you.. I knew I could count on Barbara to write you... and such a beautiful note!! Try to help me out a little Will.. it gets awfully hard without you. Please take care of your brothers, and save the beautiful after life place you are in, for me and maybe we can all be together again in a new planet and world where only the best are kept, and you and your brothers and your family are among the best the planet has to offer.. We love you forever!!

I miss you Billy, I miss seeing your beautiful face & smile and enjoying your garden or getting excited over football season or better yet politics, omg you would be having a field day with that... I remember I would ask you whom I should vote for... Funny, I can hear your voice say, hay Shel want to help me outside in the garden and she would be so excited. I look at your house, think of you so often and miss our special friendship we shared. Your were a great guy and deserved so much more. I pray you are resting in peace. Please continue to watch over everyone, especially you Mom, she's lost without you. I hope you get this, as again, I sent it twice and it means a lot to me for you to know ~ I will never forget what we shared. Love you, xo

Hi Billy ~ miss you so much, I wish you were hear so we could compare notes on raising a teenager, lol. So often I look at your house & just flash back when you were here & happy in your garden. I can hear your voice asking Shelby if she wanted to help you. She was so small, could just about see over the window ledge & tell me "come on mom, Billy's outside & said I can help him", lol. Ya, we shared a lot of good times & I miss you. You really got cheated in life, you deserved so much more. Your heart was pure and so forgiving, but I guess it just got the best of you. You were a great man & I'll never forget you or the times we spent together. RIP my friend, Love & miss you always, Watch over us & keep us safe, especially your Mom, she never recovered losing you & she never will. Send her a sign, let her know your still with her, just from another place.

I miss you Billy ... today marks 6 years and I miss you more than ever. I miss your friendship and understanding... your intelligence, great humor, heart, bravery.

A lot has been going on.. I think you would be concerned and disappointed in what's been happening, and you would be stepping in. You were always protective and loyal.

Allison is away in 1st year of college. I don't hear from her, but Ardell tells me she likes it a lot! He roommate is Peter's neighbor across the street from his house in Birdsboro.. Her name is Corrine and she is a very nice kid.

There is no healing in the sadness and tragedy of losing a great son like you.. I miss you EVERY day. I love you so much from day one!! Here we are in football season again, and you aren't here to have the fun anymore. Everyone misses you to watch the games with, and you yelling loud for the Eagles plays and TD's. Last week my Steelers played Eagles in Phila and lost, scoring only 3 points!! But yesterday Pittsburgh was back in action and crushed Andy Reid's team 14 to 43. Just in case you can read these posts, I wanted to fill you in.

Your friend Barbara still asks about you all the time, and I'm sure she will post for you... She never forgets your birthday or the date we lost you and writes to you anytime, because she thinks the world of you.. All of us miss you so much!

Allison got her first tattoo. She chose a cactus on her inner wrist area that says "Dad". Your little scoot loves you and misses you.

Also, your nephew Joey, really loves you and misses you and his Uncle Pat. Gina Perfetti always asks about you, and Jimmy Emerson, Joey Seabe, Tony I. Charles and more, and your brother and Ardell... and more!! We all miss you, and we all are heartbroken.

You have a great-nephew now too, Joey Jr., age 2. You would LOVE him!! He already is a trained Eagles cheerleader. So precious and adorable! His personality is the best!! I will ask Joey Sr to post a picture of him and little Joey. -You would love this baby, and he would love you!!

Hope you are somewhere in this never ending universe, safe and happy with your Grams, Pops, brother.. and even Tony Soprano is up there. You loved that show!!

Well I guess I'll close for now.. All my love sent to my Number One Son.. Mommy xxxooo

Hi Billy,
I miss you & happy birthday. I knew your birthday was yesterday, but did not get a chance to write on your page, but if you are able to see FB, I did comment on your mom's page, which is most important. We all miss you, but I just can't imagine how your mom feels, losing a child & her best friend. Ya, she can have strong opinion at times, but boy does she love you, and the two of you understood one another, you were so much alike. Last night we were talking about politics, not one of my favorite subjects as you know, but you mom and you are like two peas in a pod when it comes to that... Miss you baby, watch over us, and I hope & pray you are resting in peace, xo

Happy Birthday Billy my big brother!

My Billy:

Well, today is your birthday!! It's that time of year too, that you love so much: Spring!! Fishing at nearby creeks or down the shore for a weekend or so...

It is such a tragedy that a great person like you is not here anymore... Your unmatched funny humor, your intelligence, your sweetness for other people and animals, your great music talent and artistic talent. I could go on and on. We all miss you so much... especially your mother..

Well, I hope there is a heaven, and you're up there watching over your little brothers, your Pops and Grandmom... and your dad.. It would be wonderful if this was true. We have no way of verifying it is, which makes it triple hard to accept you are not here with us anymore...

I talked to Tony I the other day... your great friend, and he is in Seattle WA now on a job he took there. Jimmy Emerson misses you, Charles, Barbara, of course your brother, Peter.. And Allison too. She is doing well at school and will graduate in June, as you know. Just tragic she doesn't have you with her. Her mother and Peter do the best they can for her being so far away from her school and where she lives. All the people who love you are too numerous to list, and I might leave someone out.... but you know who they are!

I just wanted to make sure I wrote to you for your birthday. EVERY day I think of you... not just your birthday or a holiday.. You were the greatest son... I miss your insight on my problems, and things to do with the house. I hate to sell it, as I knew how much you loved this house. If you were here, I'd give it to you, period!! Maybe you and your brother Pat could have lived here together..

Anyway, I'm missing you always... all the memories I have, which are great ones, are not enough. I want you back with us! Happy Birthday in heaven, Billy. Love forever, Mom(my)

Hi Babe,
I cannot believe it has been 5-years that I have not seen your beautiful face or heard your gentle voice. I miss you my friend. Your mom was right, you really did love life and deserved so much more than you received. RIP Billy, and know that we miss you and think of you often

Your friend forever, even in Heaven, xo

Billy, Today is 5 years since you tragically left our world. I miss you every day, and really suffer because you are not here to be my friend and protector like you always were. We understood each other--

One day each and every one of us will join you; it's just that you left so soon.. We all love you so much: your brother, Peter, Pat, your daughter Allison, who was only 11 when she lost her daddy.. Your nephew, Joey... All who loved you are less happy because we lost you.... It is a huge loss.. You are irreplaceable. Such a good heart...great sense of humor .. even all you went through as a child... with no father. You wrote how it hurt you. Then you had to put up with me, yelling about this and that... You always helped me --- a big help around the house and yard. You rarely complained... You deserved a lot better than you ever got. As far as I can see, no one ever gave you anything... Yet you worked hard, took good care of everything you owned. Just the best!!
Well, me, as your mother, feels this tremendous void every day, but more than that, I feel it is unfair... Like I should protect you -- but I can't.. Those days are over.
Well, I hope there is something in the never ending universe.. over 900 billion miles wide. That's my only hope that a beautiful spirit and human being such as you are, will be chosen for the world beyond what any of us know. Only the best are chosen... You are one of the best human beings that ever graced this planet.
I love you for eternity. Send Mommy a sign and try to arrange a few breaks for me. I know you're looking out for me. We always looked out for each other, when all was said and done.

Hope your Pops is there with you, and your Grandmom who always gave you love and devotion since you were born. Take care of Paddy... I know you two are together if there is an afterlife. Maybe even your Peppe and Dolly Girl are with you. That would make you happy too.
Goodnight my sweet son. You are with me every single day.... always....
I love you and miss you so much it's heartbreaking. Love - Mommy

Happy Birthday Billy, Sorry I'm a day late. I think of you often & always with a smile on my face but deeply saddened in my heart ~ I miss you. When it's nice outside I look at your house and just remember how good it was having you as a neighbor and a friend, my forever friend! Keep an eye on us okay Billy. Talk to you soon, think of you always, xo

p.s. from time to time your Mom will post a picture of you on FB and totally blow me out of the water, she has your charisma ~ or should I say, you had her charisma. Talk to you soon, sleep sweetly!

April 21, 2015

Well, today is your birthday, and extra sad you are not with us -- That is a sadness that I can't describe.. It's deep inside. Every day I miss you, but there's nothing I can do. Knowing I can never see you again, and that harm came to you to the extent you died, is surreal and the sadness is like a huge steel door closed tight and I am but a small speck in front of it -- these words are like me knocking at that door. Losing you was like losing the center of our whole family. We all looked up to you. If there is anything out there in the neverending universe that was smart enough to save one of the best the earth had to offer, I am hoping you are safe and happy. I know you are looking out for your brother, Pat, and also your beloved Pops up there with you... and all you loved in the family. We should be having a big birthday cake for you, and never had to go through this bad dream of losing you... I handle it the best I can... But the longing to see you is constant. The memories are wonderful... We just didn't know how precious little time we would have.

Allison is doing good. I think you would approve of the school she is in.. Since she doesn't have you here with her anymore, Believe me, it's a huge loss for her losing her daddy.. She got almost a perfect report card the other day.. Very smart.. Very beautiful... Very nice kid... She misses you very much.

I'm hoping your brother, Peter will write something for you today. Nothing should stop him, like what someone else writes or not.. Let's hope he sends you a note soon.

Well, once again, Happy Birthday to my Number One son. I love you always and forever, and part of me is gone with you and your brother. That would be my heart. Mommy

Billy, I'm really missing you!! Such a great loss not having you around to talk to, as you had such a great mind.. so intelligent, and truly an original thinker. I saw Allison a week or so ago.. We went over Barbara's and went to the mall with Shelby.. Afterwards Allison went RollerSkating at the rink on the Blvd. She misses you more as time goes by... just like the rest of us. Another Christmas gone by without you. Another season of NFL without you.. And no one to call to get good advice like you always were patient enough to try to figure out and care about..
The world lost a great person with you being gone. It's just not fair!!!
Of course, your brother Paddy suffered the same misfortune.. getting sick and not getting dr to pay attention and diagnose in time. I wish I knew if you are all there together. Give my daddy a big hug for me, as I miss him a lot too. Also my mother and my grandmom Callery, and your baby brother...Just know I love you... and you know that. There is no doubt in your mind I'm sure.
Look out for me honey... I do need some help down here .. Your brother Peter is still heartbroken over your loss and does a good job looking after Allison. He's just trying to learn to live without you and Paddy, but it permanently hurts..

Sprinkles is still perky and running around with Vinnie and Nicky and Crystal and their other 2 dogs and the cats hide from Sprinkles. She has had some major scratches and injuries from the cats because she chases them.
Alright honey. I still am trying to get others to write notes to you on here.. more of your friends, and Peter too... Joey writes to you regularly which is wonderful. He misses you and his Uncle Pat something terrible too. I Love and miss you, Billy. Mommy

Hey just wanted to drop by and let you know that Allison your baby girl was very close to honor roll and she did miss by maybe 2 points unfortuantely so she made me take down my message to her and everyone she so reminds me of you you know what I mss most babe just snuggling in the cold weather with you and me and Ally and Sprinkles together on the queen size bed lol I was so blessed and didnt realize it and Im sorry for that your Mom is doing ok shes very strong woman but I still keep an eye on her its been a rough road she told me the story the other night about you leaving a frog run lose at home lol and you were not even home she had to come to grams and get you to chase it out I would of freaked out too!

Hey buddy. This is the Facebook post I made about you on friday night.....4 years ago yesterday my Beloved Uncle Bill suddenly and tragically passed away. I wish I would've realized back then how special all the seconds we spent together and good times we had were. Everytime I watch the Eagles I always think of you and pat not being here. It's not the same not being able to hug and high five after a big win (or yell and curse after a loss lol) we would've only gotten closer as time went on. We all love you and you're deeply missed. I'm sure you have everyone laughing with your dry humor in heaven. — with Bill Perfetti.

Dear Billy: First, I want to say how much I love you... and my heart has a big piece permanently gone... which is you. It seems like a long, long time since I saw you last.. since I heard your voice, and looked in your beautiful eyes... since you called me on phone.. or I called you, and we had such easy communication with each other. I loved you always... and I know you loved your mom(my)!

I miss you not being in my life... not having my precious son. It doesn't seem fair you could have gotten so sick, and died!! Just like that!! If there is a God.. I know you are one of the chosen ones to be safe in a heaven far out into the never ending Universe.. Not all "church" people will get this life... only the best: like you.
Your brother is up there too.. for he was always a good kid too. So pleasant and happy. Neither you, or your brothers were ever whiners. We didn't have it easy.. didn't have much... but you all seemed ok with it.
It was four years ago tomorrow we lost you. Your little girl, Allison, misses you Billy. She doesn't talk at length about it... or her feelings.. but she brings you up a lot here and there. Bragging about how you taught her fishing and guitar.. and your favorite kind of music. I think she is a lot like you... She has a good heart, but keeps much inside... She's still trying to figure things out, and seems to be doing well at that school. I think you would approve of that place, as she gets taught very good lessons... like chores, homework, but still allowed to have friends, go to concerts, etc.. She is sooo pretty, too; ... No surprise there. And her Mother is doing better too!

Your friends all miss you. I try to get them to write you more often on here.. A few said they will. Still waiting. But Barbara doesn't forget you.

Peter's heart is same as mine... a big piece missing. He really loves you so much... and Paddy.

So take care of your little brother up there... like you always did. Watch out for all of us down here. Eagles are looking pretty good... Jury still out on the team, although they are 3 and 1 right now. They all miss you so much for the games, and for poker too. Joey wrote you a note on here a few months back.. and also tells me how much he misses you, and you were "the funniest man in the world".. He loves you. We have a new Joey Jr.. I'm sure you know.
Our world lost a great one when we lost you.. But your spirit is always here with us. We love and miss you.

Your loyal and devoted Mother... I was privileged to be... Mommy

Dear Billy,
That's a great note your nephew wrote for you... - he too loves you so much and misses you. It's just not the same for us without you... I hope you are in the universe somewhere in a much better place than this planet and all that goes with trying to survive here. If anyone deserves to live in a heaven, it's you, so I am sure if there is such a place, you are one of the "chosen" to be there.

Your friends miss you and ask about you: Jimmy Emerson, Jimmy O'Dowd, Charles, and many more. Joey Seabe says you were like brothers and he loves you. Allison misses you even more as she gets older, realizing the wonderful daddy she had that loved her so much, and wanted to always protect her.

Of course, you and me, spending all that time together since you were a baby, & I was so proud to have such a tall, dark and handsome, smart, and talented son -- your sense of humor was better than anyone's.. you were so funny!! It is very hard to understand WHY this had to happen to you. It's not fair.

I wish I could have protected you more and pushed more to help you get additional medical evaluations, - because I could see you really weren't feeling so good, and knew you had been through a lot in recent times. But just like when you were a kid, you never complained.

I miss our great conversations we used to have all the time, and I miss you coming over, taking me shopping, caring about our house, etc., or me just being able to call you. You always picked up if you were there. You were so intelligent, and our conversations were great. I knew how much you loved your Mother. And no one loved our house more than you.... although Paddy loved it too.

Speaking of your baby brother; please look after him.. as I know if there is a God, he has the both of you in a happy place there together... because there are no better human beings than my sons; both in heart and soul.

I'm glad Joey wrote to you. He loves his Uncle Billy, and you earned that love! And now, if you can believe it, Joey is a daddy himself! Little Joseph Patrick Perfetti, Jr., born March 12th!! You would love him.. he is a beautiful, healthy little baby... with a great smile, and a happy little personality!

Well, I'm gonna close for now. I'm glad Joey sent this note to you. In a little over 90 days, NFL football starts.. and Joey and Peter really count on you to be with them.. even if just in spirit now.. We miss you so much in so many ways -- that's just one of them.

Love always and forever, Mommy

This goes to my Uncle Bill of whom I Miss SOOO much. I'll still never forget the night I found out you passed away. The power was out at my house all night it was as if the world knew it lost an amazing person. You always knew how to make me laugh you will always be the funniest person I ever knew with your sly humor. I know we would've gotten closer and closer as I got older. I miss you every time I watch the eagles and miss you screaming "GOOOO!!!!" And not so nice language LOL just like I do now. I wish you were here to meet Joey your great nephew too. Love and miss you,

Happy Birthday Billy... I am one day late writing this for you, but I know you won't mind; you were always so unspoiled. Nothing has changed except of course, I miss you more as I continue to realize the last time I saw you and the last time we talked and you laughed, was the last time for eternity. It is heartbreaking and so unfair. The universe is 90 billion light years wide... something like that.. Far larger than anything we can imagine, so there is a chance a better world is out there for you and Paddy (we call it heaven down here)... Continue to watch over your little brother, as I know Pops and Grams are looking after both of you. I want you back with us, honey.. Love you always... and Happy Birthday.

Hi Baby,

Every time I read your mom's post, my heart breaks a little more for her. I cannot imagine her pain losing you, then Pat too ~ No words to describe!

Well baby, your season is here “spring” and I too think of you so much more, especially when I am outside doing things around the house. I think how great it was to talk to you and watch and learn from you how to take care of a home. You showed me a lot and didn't even know you were teaching me. I would watch you, and then do what you did. If you took your hose in for the winter, I would do the same, you turned your water off outside, I would too. Whatever you did, I followed your lead. I just miss you a lot Bill. I miss your smile and I miss our talks.

Anyway, things are good. I have to tell you, there is a movie I love and have watched repeatedly, it's called P.S. I love you with “Jeffrey Dean Morgan”, every time I see that man, I think of you in so many ways; his looks, smile, style, it's all you!

Miss you my friend ~ sleep sweetly!

Fishing season is right around the corner, Billy. I think of when Ch 6 news interviewed you the first day of fishing about 6 or so years back. They found you on the banks of Pennypack with your fishing pole, and came over to you to talk. They said it was over a minute long interview video, and Jim was there too, but they only interviewed you. lol I had my vcr all fired up ready to record when it came on the 11pm news that night, but it never came on as it was pre-empted because of The Ten Commandments they aired, an old obligatory religious movie because it was Easter season; and that movie is HOURS and hours long. So, your interview was never shown because news came on so late. I was furious and highly disappointed, as I had my vcr all ready to record. Next day I called the news channel and was told I could BUY that video clip.. but they wanted a heck of a lot of money for it. I deliberated about giving them all that money, and decided against it. Every spring I think of that, and wish I had purchased that video.

Needless to say... I miss you so much every single day, and love you with all my heart!!
Allison is doing well, and she always makes it over here to stay over at least one night when she is home on any kind of vacation. She says she wants to help get a really nice stone for you. I'm very proud of her. She talks more about you now, and is a lot like you in her personality and interests: she loves great music (plays your albumns too).. interest in nature, sense of humor, intelligence. I am trying to get her interested in taking up tennis. I think she could be really good if she gets lessons from a coach.

Soon it will be your birthday.. I just want you to know I miss you every single day!! All your pictures (my favorites) are everywhere. Your brother, Peter, misses you something awful, and he always will.
Joey, Charles, Tony I, Barbara, and all your friends and relatives love you always and miss you. I will try to send more people the link to your Guest Book and they may want to write a note from time to time on here.

Take good care of your little brother up there... just like you always did.

Love with all my heart, as always... Mom(my)

For My Number One Son:
Billy, tomorrow will be three years since you left... three years since I talked to you last .. the night before that fateful date. I don't know if you can read this... or know how I feel, but if you can... I miss you the same if 100 years go by .... except it gets worse the more time that passes. The realization that it's been so long since I saw you, or heard your wonderful voice. You were a gift given to us while we had you here with us. Who could know we would lose you so soon? It is gut wrenching to miss you so much. Joey misses you always, and I hope you could read his special note written to you a couple months back. Allison is doing well, and I think you would approve of her progress, but, ... she misses her daddy.
I'm writing on the "anniversary" of you leaving us. This is deep loss and a hurt that can't be cured. It's surreal and gut wrenching.

And, by the way, Billy, I'm sure you will take care of your little brother... like you always did!

All my love,
Your Mommy

Billy, I guess you know by now your brother Paddy has joined you. I miss you so much and am still broken over your loss, and now your brother, Paddy! If you see things in heaven, then you know how much I've missed you all this time since you lost your life... almost three years soon. Your brother Pat often talked about how much he loved and missed you. Peter can barely reconcile all this in his heart and mind. He is trying to deal with all this, and it isn't easy for him.-- He loves you so much.

Could you please look after your little brother, Paddy? I'm sure you will be happy to have his company now, and he loves PopPop so much. He always talked about how he loved Pops.
I hope you can take Paddy under your wing and assure him all is ok there, and you all can look down here and know how much we love you but will never stop missing you and hurting because we can't ever see you or talk to you again. It really is a struggle to understand and deal with.

I know you know how much I always loved you.. how special you always were, and how much I miss you every single day. Say a special prayer too for us down here as we need help to try to heal our broken hearts at least a little bit.
I'm sure it made you happy to see Allison spent last weekend with her Grandmom Trishie. We had a nice time, and bonded some more. You would be very proud of her,.. she is doing well.. Also Joey misses you terribly.. and Vinnie and little Nicky are getting big. Barbara still misses you and is your faithful friend. Ardell is trying to take steps to improve in a positive way. I hope she succeeds. Your ol poker buddy, and friend, Charles, still talks about you and misses you. Tony "I" has become a friend to me too. Jimmy O'Dowd and many more of your friends send their love and all miss you.

It's so hard to write a note to you hoping somehow you can read it... but even if you can't... the love is there... nothing will ever change that. I hope to have Paddy there with you, Pops, Grandmoms at your final resting place when all is said and done. I had a very hard time deciding where he should be, but for now, he's with the other Veterans. Send me a sign Billy... Say hello to my daddy, mother, and grandmom. Oh yes, and might as well say hello to Mike too. lol
Love Forever, Miss you every day

Hey Bill! Just dropping a line to say hello. Guess what? I finally got my OWN apartment! Well, it's a townhouse, but I wish you were here to enjoy it with me and come over for Eagles games, card games and just to hang out if you wanted to. I'm doing really good man, I think you'd be real proud of the progress I've made, I only wish you were here so we could lean on each other. I miss you man...we all do! I know you're with me, taking care of me from above when you have time. Say hello to Joey, Pop Pop and my dad for me will ya? Love you dude!

I miss you and think of you often. I drove by the house the other day and just sat there for a while, thinking about you and I smiled. I just don't understand why things played out as they did, so not fair! I miss you a lot my "forever friend". You're always in my heart. You were such a good and kind soul! xoxo

I just listened to your Al Green c.d., and I still get the chills every time I hear "Tired of being Alone". You were a good soul Bill, with an extraordinary kindness you gave to others. This is still so unbelievable to me. You were and will always be a "gentle soul". Miss you; just wish I could wave to you one more time!

Dear Billy: Today is your birthday, April 21st, and nothing has changed as far as how much we miss you, except I miss you more and more as time goes by. You are one of the best human beings to ever grace this Planet Earth.... You had everything: great humor, artistic and music talent, sensitivity and intelligence, handsome, good character, loyalty....personality.. I miss you so much, but hope that somewhere out in the neverending universe, you are in a better place... and hope you see that all who miss you so much, and love you are still with you every day.

Happy Birthday, Billy.... I Love you always and forever!! Mom(my)

Dear Patricia and Margie, I do not know how I stumbled on this information - but I am so glad I did. I know words are totally useless to describe what must be your pain.....to loose a young vibrant child so prematurely. My heart goes out to you and all of your family.
I just learned of your Mom's passing. So sorry I did not know until this day - I would have been there for sure. I know that the spirits of our loved ones exist, and do continue on. There is no doubt that a couple of watchful very love filled angels are watching over all of you. God bless. Joan Calabrese; [email protected];

I read your Mom's posts and I feel sad. Her words are true and I feel her pain, although no one will ever know what it is like to lose a child unless they have. It will take a very long time for your Mom to get over this, if she ever will. We talk from time to time, and I feel sad for her, she is quite alone and it seems like our conversations always go back to you. She is right though, you had such great insight on so many things, you were a wiz regarding politics, music, plants & people. I can look back and laugh when we would discuss politics. I knew nothing and you knew everything and you wanted to teach me and I could care less. I would say, just tell me who to vote for and I will (and I did). I still have a bag of change in my car for when we use to play cards - I look at it all the time and think of you. I miss you. Rest sweetly. You were such a big gentle soul, love ya.

It doesn't get any easier here without you, and life is so much sadder each and every day because you are not there for us to talk to, laugh with, ask opinions about.. You had such great insight in everything: from people, to politics, to music and musicians and so much more. So much talent. Not to mention how handsome you always were... a standout. I am sure if there is a heaven, you are right there with God because only the best make it... not the most religious, who only use God because they are afraid of death (and life), but truly great human beings -- like you, Billy.

Allison seems to be doing well, and we went out together a couple times and had a good time. I know you will love to hear that news. She reminds me a lot of you in many ways. Your brother, Peter, misses you badly. He always loved you so much and looked up to you, and he is hurting over your loss of life, -- just trying to deal with it the best he can. It's just tragic you have been taken away from us. Paddy is a work in progress at this time... I know you always loved your little brother.

It's just that I miss you so much Billy... -- It's just impossible to explain or reach with words.

Love, Mom(my)

Today is almost Christmas a little over one year since you are gone.. If only you could read these post,s it would be such a relief and joy for me... At least , even though you are in heaven, I would know my Billy is still somewhere...and as the story goes, in peace "in a better place"... I miss you so much my heart will never be the same, from the day you left until the day I leave this earth. .. I just wish I could have protected you from the harm that somehow took you away... Nothing on earth is more important, or greater than my Number One Son. I love you always, and miss you so much. There is a void in me -- a dark place I can barely look into as I'm afraid it will tell me, that yes, indeed, - it is true... you are gone.... Billy, you deserved so much more than you ever had in this world.
All my Love Always and Forever, Mommy

It's hard to believe it's over a year; I think of you often and still don't understand why this happened, guess I never will. Your truck sits empty in the driveway, and as I drive by I shake my head, still in disbelief. Thanks for the dream, it was good to see you again. RIP my friend, loving you from here.

I think about you so much and I miss you. Sometimes you just don't realize what you have until it's gone and then it's too late. I have no regrets; we were always good to each other, but had I known what I know now, we could have been even better. The other day in the car the song came on "If I could turn back time, by Cher", I had it blasting as the tears ran down my face. Miss ya
