It is with great sadness that I write on Billy's tribute wall. I think my Mother also picked up on Billy, on the way, at another birthday dinner 2 years following Ronnie's birth. With Billy's birth so began the saga of a too short but of a life long friendship between 2 brothers.I remember attending one of his soccer games and afterwards catching sight of his reflection in the front window of a store and commenting that he looked like Patrick Swayze . Every time I would observe this likeness and tease him he would drop his head and his eyes would crinkle and that cute little smile would appear. Over the years he would have short hair and Ronnie would have long hair or Billy would have long hair and Ronnie would go with the short hair. He liked to share his videos games with you and took the time to explain what was going on and hoped you that you would participate in the competition.And guess who won ? He was a smart guy and excelled in math, in the 98th percentile is test scoring in the country at one point in his life, pretty impressive !
I loved being able to share times with him at his sporting events, birthdays and holidays. He was kind and gentle with his younger cousins and friends.
I had great fun with Billy and the family at the beach and I even tried to cook for him there, but alas, nothing compared to his mom's cooking. I remember him ,at a young age , sweltering in the hot sun when he worked at the Midway Shopping Center speedway. He was hot but industrious.
He was loved dearly by his mom and dad and family and friends for the unique person that he was. I last spoke to him at Christmas at the Walsh house. I think he hoped to get back to school and find his way in life. We were all hoping that for him.
My heart goes out to Debbie and Ron. Your love and devotion to Billy was very evident. We can't always help those we love. We will just have to hold the memories of him in our hearts. He and Ronnie , as in life, are together again. I am so blessed to have shared some times in his life. Rest easy now.
Much love,
Aunt Nancy

Losing my nephew Billy has been devastating to me. I can hardly express the sadness I feel over this unexpected tragedy. He was always a sweet shy boy who followed in his brothers shadow. They were inseparable. Billy was not a social butterfly. He usually hung back, smiled and didn't say a whole lot. He spent a lot of his time watching his movies and tv shows. He explained to me in detail 'The Walking Dead' series because I hadn't seen it and was wondering what all the hype was about. It would make him happy to share his recollection of various shows, movies and video games with us. He was always very kind, sincere and respectful to me and my children. I never heard a negative comment come out of his mouth in his entire life. Billy helped take care of his Dad and his Grandmother regularly which I found to be very admirable. He struggled in ways that most people don't understand. He was introverted and found outlets that were not in his best interest. Regardless, I never gave up hope or turned my back. I was sure everything was going to be ok. Billy is resting in eternal peace with his big brother by his side. Similar to the way they were in life, always together. We love you Billy. Our lives won't be the same without you. You will be missed dearly. You are now free from this crazy world where only the fittest survive. Rest easy sweet boy.
With unconditional love,
Aunt Shari
