Bill will forever hold a place in my heart. At times, he was a bit stubborn and didn't mind telling it like it was. But more so than not, he was a sweet and very kind person that would do anything for anyone. He'll always be remembered for his wonderful smile and heart of gold. I'm very saddened by his passing, but very glad to have met him and his family. He will be greatly missed.

There are those in your life you remember because you've known them, and then there are those in your life you remember because they made you want to be a better person. I've never met a more genuine, honest, and selfless individual. His integrity, morals, and tenacious character was never questionable nor compromised and should serve as a life-lesson template for those who want to become better people and invest in personal development. Bill couldn't have been a stronger advocate and sometimes all-out Warrior for doing the right thing; more than willing to stare potential social and political criticism in the eye with a smile. He was true to his God, Family, Himself, Ideologies, and Friends. I will always respect, honor, and appreciate his friendship and will continue to pray for his beautiful family every day. Many hearts are broken but can find some comfort in knowing the Angels are reciprocating all of the love, kindness, and compassion he gave to others. I know he's making the Angels laugh and certain his very missed smile is the most radiant in Heaven. Will miss you every day until I see you again.

Billy was kind, opinionated, funny, with a temper like a child at times. One minute complaining of aches and pains like he was 80 and the next minute he was a 10yr old boy playing pranks and laughing loudly.
There are no words really.
Miss you always.

Billy was my oldest nephew and also my godson. I watched him grow from the day he was born into the amazing man he became. I love him so very much and am heartbroken over his loss. I sincerely hope that his lovely wife Michelle and his dear children can find peace and serenity from our
Lord and Savior. God bless you.

To the family of Billy Giannini - So much love, hugs, and prayers are being sent your way by the Grays in Bartlett - especially to Brett, Carlee, and Andy. Both Mark and Mason were so sad to learn of Billy's passing, but shared with me some of the "Ackerman Gang's" antics, particularly remembering Billy playing his guitar. You guys were and are such a special bunch. Many good memories of when you were all children.

Bill was a pleasure to work with. He always had a smile on his face and liked giving hugs. What made him different is that he didn't care who you were, he didn't think he was above anyone else. Such a great heart! He has been, and will forever be missed by C & I personnel who knew and loved him.

Bill was a amazing guy - his talents and skills were numerous and he was a really GOOD friend. I loved spending time with him, enjoying his energy, positive attitude, learning about all his different interests and his faith, hearing him talk about his beloved wife and children and how proud he was of them. He leaves an empty place in the hearts of many and will be GREATLY missed.
