I will carry Billie in my heart forever. He was one of my first friends at Lew-Port Middle School. His smile and engaging laughter could melt away a bad day. He was a friend to all. A true gentleman who was kind to everyone he met. The world is a sadder place without Billie but I'm grateful for the new angel in heaven looking down and watching over us with God's everlasting love.
Billie thank you for making my life better. All of my love and prayers go to you and your family. Mrs. "C"

Billy was one of my students during his undergraduate days at NU and I have also had the pleasure of having his sister Jacqueline as a student as well.
He was a wonderful young man and I am so sorry for your loss. He will long be remembered at Niagara University.

I was very saddened by the news of your son "Billy." What a joy to have known such a gentle, loving, and caring person. His smile was infectious and he beamed in every room he entered. Hard working, even at an early age, ready to lend a hand when needed. You as parents, have led by example to this wonderful spirit that now is seeing the face of Jesus personally. What an example he gave to many young people in his parish. Your family has been an important part of the parish and we all share in your loss with you in prayers and faith.

My heart was broken when Father Jim sat me down and told me that Billy was gone. I was in tears then and still am now. I will miss his smile and the simple joy he had in life. My fondest memory of Billy was in watching him work with the kids in Vacation Bible School. It was such a joy for him!!! It was hard to tell who was having more fun -- Billy or the kids!! May God Bless him, his family and friends!!

Billy,
We are so sad and constantly asking"Why?" But we know that God had a greater plan for you. We were blessed to have you in our world for as long as we did. And it gives us peace to know that you are now "our" angel watching over us. Rest in peace my friend, until we meet again because we know that "Heaven is for Real" and we will meet again some day. Give Aunt Mary a bug hug and kiss for us. We love you buddy......

We were all so shocked and saddened by your loss.Though Billy's life was cut short, he made a powerful impact on so many, especially the youth at church. I saw how involved he was in our parish family in such a variety of ways, that his vitality and spirit will always be referred to when inspiring others to measure up to his standard.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this very difficult time in your lives.
Love,
Wendy, John, & Heather Farino

I had the pleasure of working with billy at dunkin. Billy was such an amazing person. The one year for boss day, he gave me a gift certificate with the sweetest card in the world! I still have the card! He used to make messes all over and i would call him my silly billy. I think sometimes he did it on purpose though haha.. billy was more than an co worker he was a friend. He was always thinking of everyone else. First to ask if someone was ok. I will miss him very much. I wish i could have one more talk, one more hug, one more chance to call him silly billy. My love goes to everyone who may have known him. I hope that he knew how many hearts he had touch. R.i.p. my silly billy you will truly missed ♡
