I just found out yesterday that my "Great" friend Billy passed away a while back. I worked with Bill at RCA / Thomson / TTE for over 25 years. I probably had dinner with him at least 25 times including Josh and Julie as well. Bill called eating "Dinning Out" there were times he booked the chef's table more than once for many people customers / RCA co-workers. Bill visited my wife and I in Green Bay and had a great weekend at our cottage. I could go on and on about my friendship with Bill but I would run out of space. He was so proud of Josh and Julie and spoke about them often. He organized zoom calls between myself , Danny Chavis , Toni , Steve Cash and Russ F. He was a great person a loving person and always a smile on his face, my "loving" Condolences go out to his family and specially to Josh and Julie. God Speed be with you always. Brad

I was one of the lucky ones who has been a friend of Bill´s for the past 65 years. I grew up two doors away from his family and we were always together whether it was playing monopoly on the porch or hide and seek under the streetlight. Over the years we grew up and went our own ways and started our own families, but we always talked and sometimes we´re fortunate enough to get together and have dinner. Bill and my mother shared a love of Heath bars and every Halloween my mother would make sure she had Heath bars waiting for Bill. Josh and Julie, I think the last time I saw you you were about five years old, but you were a big part of every conversation your dad and I had. He was so proud of you both and loved spending time with the grandkids. Praying you´ll be comforted with precious memories. Love and hugs.

Bill was our neighbor. He told us we could visit his pool anytime. My husband, Leon, loved going to the pool and having a few beers during the summer. To the family, I am sorry for your loss.

So very very sorry to hear of Billie's passing. We had some wonderful times at Billie's Family Reunion Gatherings at his house. Everyone enjoying the beautiful swimming pool and getting together with our other cousins and family. Lots of good times and memories. Love to his family. Cousin, Bunny.

Still trying to process this loss. We all met in 1967 at YSU. Formed a group
of six guys, who always hung out together. Jimmy, Gary, Statch, Jersey, 3.2
and myself. People from different cultures who came together to get an
education and have some fun.
Statch always had the ability to sell you on just about everything and that followed into the business world. He was a type of person who you just
couldn't say "no" to and became a very successful and popular salesman.
He got married and his wife gave him a daughter and son. Statch was so
very proud of how is kids turned out. Not because of their great successes
in life, but they were nice people to boot. Statch had done a good job in
raising them and gave them values that are so rare.
Do not feel sorry for this very good man. He lead a great life and probably
accomplished more than most of us were able to muster. Julie and Josh,
your father is in Heaven and has been given his ultimate reward, be happy
for him.

Until we meet again,
Pat

Going to miss our semi-regular calls. Always full of love and laughs. I'm glad we got to speak not that long ago. I'll forever remember that last conversation. Billy would always end our conversations with,"Just because you're all the way down in Texas, I want you know, you're out of sight, but never out of mind. Love you." Those words echo in my mind...Billy is out of sight, but will never be out of mind.
