William G. "BFD" Carey

I met Billy when I was transferred to Dudley Street. I always found Billy to be a true gentleman and very generous with his time helping others and through his service to The City of Boston. My sincere condolences to the entire Carey Family.

Bill, you were one of the kindest, most down to earth people I ever met in EMS. R.I.P brother! Jon Paul

I am so sorry for the loss of Billy. Having known him as a young man and see him become the man he was as a firefighter, musician, father, husband and all around human being he will surely be missed, but never forgotten. May he rest in peace of Jesus Christ. May his family be blessed with much love during this sad time. John Kelly

I have known Bill thru extended family since he was a little boy. When we needed to raise funds for my daughter's medical treatment a few years ago, Bill and the band stepped right up to help at the fundraising, and I will always be grateful for his support. Boston lost one of the best this week! Keeping Jill, Gavin, Molly, Conor, Betty and his brothers in my thoughts and prayers!

Billy ,You will be missed by all your fans and friends @ The Nickerson Post 382 Squantum.......you are the best...Our condolences to your loving family...God Bless love you always...

Bless the Careys, a hero clan of Boston service. A fine Fenian musician and friend to Doyle's of J.P.
Rest in peace.

Dear Carey Family,
I´m sending sincere condolences on your loss of Bill. He gave a courageous fight against occupational cancer, a terrible disease and all the while battling it he never lost sight of helping other people. Firefighters are a special breed of humanity that Bill demonstrated through his dedication, skills, and love of the job. Through his kindness to my family, The Fenian Sons reached out and posted a photo of Tom when we lost him along with their remembrance of playing a slow song so he could dance with his love at the Ed Walsh Foundation gathering and that was truly warm and caring. "A life that touches others goes on forever."
Sincerely,
The Tom Walsh Family

First met Billy when I was a new cop in B-2. Then over the years at calls involving H+H, years later he would play at the Emerald Society, he and the band were absolutely great. Thoughts and prayers to the family and BFD. We lost a good one,heavenly got a great one.

Jill and family,
So sorry for the loss of Billy. Sending love, and thinking of you all during this difficult time.

I will miss my friend and neighbor. No one was more positive and upbeat than Bill. He was such a great dad. He and Jill raised 3 of the nicest kids I´ve ever met. They have grown to be amazing students, athletes, and young adults. Never have I watched 3 young siblings play together for hours in the backyard as if they were best friends. A testament to their parents. Billy became your friend after your first conversation with him. He will be sorely missed by many. RIP my friend
