I knew Bill through my father.
Rafael Ferraz. St. Andrew´s church was like the glue that connected families and friends.
Bill helped enormously before & after my father´s death.
We had many conversations together and I was lucky to have known him.

Mr. Bosque (Uncle Bill) , May your spirit live on and remind us all how important every fact is even the tiniest detail. To those who knew Mr. Bosque he told the best stories, my parents and I could spend hours listening to him explain the journey's he took to go golfing in Sacramento with his buddies, to taking us to see the Giants and explaining how they picked the color of the seats in the stadium. My Dad was Bill's neighbor in Daily City and although it's been many years I still remember the prickly stucco on the hallways, the pool that glowed green & Bill taking us not to one but all the Original Joe's and explain the history of each and which one made the best old fashion. The beautiful white car you drove us in and who can forget the largest collection of telephone phone books. Rest in peace Aaron Erbe

My condolences to the family at this time. My wife and I have known Bill for over 34 years from St Andrew. He was classmates with my brother in law at USF before that. He was always cheerful and a great conversationalist. Our last talk was about a month or so ago at another funeral. May he rest in eternal peace.

Not Billy Bosque! He and I were born a day apart. Happy Birthday in heaven and give all of our St. Stephen classmates ( including the nuns) a wave from above!

I was a classmate of Bill´s at both St Stephen´s and Saint Ignatius, and I never forgave him for not being Basque. Bill was always friendly and he enjoyed our annual SI holiday lunches where he´d get to mingle with old friends. We´ll miss you, Bill.

Bill and I were friends for over 55 years, since our time together at SI, and we remained in touch, with our final conversation one week ago today. Happy heavenly birthday, Bill--and give my best to those wonderful parents of yours.

I knew Bill at USF. He was proud of his family heritage and spoke frequently about it. I regret having lost contact with him. May he rest in peace.
