Billy was my very good childhood friend and Purification BVM classmate. He was very talented in anything he attempted. He was imaginative, interesting and fun to be with. Despite not seeing him in recent years I will always remember him as generous and kind and a man who truly loved his family. I feel so sorry he has been taken at this early age.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Peggy and
the family.
With deepest sympathy,
Dick and Helen Ottobre
