I work in downtown Boston as a letter carrier and I became friendly with Billy over the last couple of years. I consider myself very lucky to have known him. His eyes would light up whenever he talked about his boy Liam, and I was fortunate enough to see them together. I just found out about his passing today and I am so sorry for your loss.
