I want to say that I miss seeing you around. I'm from upstate NY (Watertown) and moved to Cape Coral the same year you did...what a surprise!.

My mom waited on you at the Gill house in Henderson Harbor and said you were a nice man.
I was a manager at Weathervane seafoods when you came in and we chatted.
I also got to enjoy the Styx concert in cape coral you set up for the city.
You seemed to have a big heart, and I miss your commercials.
I'm sure your family and friends will never be the same.
RIP Billy you made a lot of money, and you did a lot of good for many people.
I miss ya!

Although we did not know Mr. Fuccillo personally, we enjoyed his commercials immensely. Just learned recently of his passing and very saddened. He sounded like such a decent human being...it is society´s loss because we need more people like him in this world.

Our deepest sympathy to his family,

I knew Billy only from his commercials when I moved to Fl. 7 yrs. ago. I loved the fact that he gave tv´s , cruises ,etc. to people who bought his cars. He seemed like a really good guy. My sympathy to his wife, son , and rest of his family. He will be missed. He brought cheer to those of us who watched his commercials.

You should be so proud of Billy and his kind heart and warming atmosphere he brought when he was around anyone no matter how busy he was you were always important to billy. He is a one of a kind and true gentleman. Our thoughts and for the family and Billy´s extended family; his employees that are also in need of prayers

Our deepest condolences to the Fuccillo family. Billy made us smile and laugh throughout the years. He truly cared and it showed in many ways, particularly with his contributions to the community. My wife and kids were at one of his dealerships in Rochester several years ago. He came up to our table after noticing "Cabo San Lucas" on my son's t-shirt. We shared a few laughs and had a nice chat. Good man with a HUGE heart.
RIP Billy. Gone, but never forgotten.

We went to a charity event for Disabled spinal cord victims. The group raised $10,000 and Billie matched that amount. We did not meet him singularly but from that moment on we knew what a charitable person this man was.
His Car commercials will never be forgotten. "It was HUGE" just like him.
Prayers for his family. R.I.P. Big Guy!

Just offering my condolence to your family at this difficult time. Billy was definitely a go getter and loved life. He was one for getting things done. Not too many of those nowdays. My uncle lived on Grand Island at one time. I think he knew him. I am in Clarence now at Brothers Senior Apartments. I have been to Lauderdale though about 4 times. Have friends in Tampa. Serios. May you have better days ahead.

Billy was a benevolent man who supported many charities for which he never sought the limelight. He was a friend to Law Enforcement and was the first to give to the Syracuse Fallen Officers Memorial. Respect. Rest in peace Billy.
