Deb S wrote a sympathy message

“Billy's diverse range of humour and precision showed in his achievements and creative work. Though it's true, a finality to seeing him again brings remorse, the great memories bring joy and do not end. Billy made a bucket list that I am so glad to have been part of. Even when he was laid up, that subtle humour was with him all the way. My heart goes out to those who shared a special bond with Billy, There's a smile in my tear, Debbie Speziali.”

“We are heartbroken over the loss of my cousin, and our deepest condolences go out to everyone who knew and loved him. Billy had a way of making you laugh and smile, no matter the moment. It was truly inspiring to watch him dive into any task with such passion and curiousity - he wouldn't stop until he figured out every last detail. He even helped me become a better hockey player. I looked up to him - not just for what he could do, but for who he was. Rest easy Billy, you'll never be forgotten”
