Dearest Carol, Trish, Paulie, Jeddie, Mike... and all the people in Billy's life I never knew,
I only really knew him as a kid, but I have him in my heart. I recall a robust bareshirt boy with his summer buzz cut running and playing on Robin Drive. Maybe making a ruckus? Big smile, little-kid glint in his eyes. And that is how he'll stay in my mind forever.
Much love.

To quote a friend . He was larger than life in more ways than one! A true friend that will surley be missed by all. Those are some large shoes that will have to be filled by all his friends and family and I am sure that everyone will step up to the plate to fill his mission. At our ages how do you obtain a friend of 37 years? I will truly miss him at Hitherhills in Montauk one of his favotitr places on the earth. Please join us the week of July 28th to honor him in Montauk. May he rest in Peace
