Every year on his birthday since Billy has passed I take a hike for Billy Rock! My dog and I pick a trail and think about him, how he loved animals and nature. He is always with us. ❤️

This saddens me beyond belief. Our friendship was one that maintained from our first days at Lewis U till now. Be sure my friendship with him continues, just in a new form. I would like the family to know, that my completion of college was largely with his encouragement and drive. There were moments when I nearly left because of personal reasons, but he wouldn't let me quit. My degree and continued personal education is in no small part to his influence. I will continue to speak with him and he with me. My condolences to the entire family and all that loved Bill for the amazing person he is. To Bill, I'll always remember our road trips, fitz hall, late night musings on the great questions of life and the world, you always standing by me in a fight, Jimmy Buffet shows, and just laughing at all life's mishaps. You are stout friend! I will see you later, and until then fair winds and following seas.

This was such an unexpected tragedy. I'll remember Billy as the happy guy he was during our family reunion. A donation has been made in Billy's memory to the Epilepsy Foundation.

Loved working with Bill. He loved pulling pranks at work and making us laugh. Always had a smile on his face when he came to work. I had just started working there and was so shocked to see him and a couple other Attorneys wearing jeans and remodeling a conference room. They were cracking jokes like a bunch of kids. So much fun to be around. Bill was an extremely bright young man that will be missed by so many. Prayers to the whole family. Very sorry for your loss.
