I’ve known Billy for as long as I can remember. My sister Maggie dated Mikey all through high school, so Mikey was always like a little brother to me… but in the past 5-6 years, Billy and I got really close, and then HE became like a brother to me… he lived in my basement for a long time after he lost his house on Hortonville, (we made a makeshift room with carpet and space heaters, a bed and a TV) which probably helped me more than it helped him… that was a really hard time for me too… I had 2 toddlers by myself, and the company I kept was not ideal and he always helped me out. He gave me a hand with my kids, he did dishes,  he built me shelves, he put up security cameras, he watched to make sure people weren’t stealing from me, and he tried to fix anything that was broken (although sometimes it sometimes ended up as a pile of parts—RIP my Dyson vacuum, my laptop, my microwave, and my weed wacker) but I was thankful for his effort anyway… but most of all, he always knew how to make me smile…. No matter how mad I was, how sad I was, how hurt I was, he always knew what to say to make me smile… it wasn’t always what he said, but more the way he said it, with his goofy laugh and his million dollar smile… he always looked on the bright side of things… he would say “well at least (insert something more terrible that could have happed) didn’t happen” and he would give me this look, like he knew what he said was not helpful, and then he would smile and laugh, and I had to shake my head and smile too. Also, he was always there to listen… he was a keeper of all of my secrets, and never judged. And most importantly he was just there… so I wasn’t alone… going through the roughest time of my life… so I wasn’t going through it all by myself… him being there probably saved my life… Of course, we also had our differences, but he was probably the best friend I had… I hope he knew that… he was was a REALLY great friend to have… always looking to help everybody, in any way he could… he had such a big heart… and I will miss him dearly… and I am only one of many, many people I know who feel that way… I cannot imagine the sorrow that his family must feel… I wish there was something more I could do. I will keep him, and his family, in my prayers. I am so sorry for your loss. 

I’m so very sorry for your loss

Deepest prayers and condolences for you all. Its been nearly twenty years since he worked with me but I remember him fondly and wish you all peace.
