Another year has come and was thinking about you yesterday being your birthday. Watching the grandkids and seeing how much Ryan and Gavin remind me of you. They are still learning and doing wheeling and dealing like you. I wish I had that talent to keep teaching them, but they are doing fine. You would adore Ryan's girlfriend and probably pick at her like Ryan does. I miss talking to you so much and our road trips just going off on our own. I wanted to wish you a happy birthday and let you know I love you and miss you.

Your wife

Well honey 5 years tomorrow , doesn't seem possible. You are missed so much. Your grandchildren are growing up to be such awesome kids. I see you in every one of them and I hope you can see them also. I love you always and keeping myself busy I don't always talk to you but hope you always know I love you.

Your loving wife

 Well brother it's finally spring and  another day has passed without you in our lives. I miss you something awful today.  Things are just never going to be the same again.  Look after our family up there in heaven till we see each other again.

Happy Anniversary honey I miss you very much. Wishing you were here with me so bad sometimes but know that your not in pain anymore makes me happy. We are going to go to Maine this year I hope all of us this time. You and I made quite a few road trips there. I miss our road trips an awful lot and would love to do it again, which I will and you'll be there too. Love you - Rita

Well honey it's your birthday and I'm missing you so much lately. Wish you were here to talk too and help me figure out how to get things. You always figured out some way to get stuff with your wheeling and dealing wish I had paid better attention. Your youngest grandson  missed you for Christmas and wrote you a letter even remembers how old he was when you passed. You would be so proud of your grand kids they are quite the bunch. Well honey happy birthday and happy new year. I love you
Your wife

Well little brother another yr has come around. One that I won't get to spend with you. The pain of losing you has not subsided even though I know you no longer suffer and are in a much better place. I miss you so much brother. The days are long and our lives are forever changed without you. I love you and will miss you forever. Mini

well my dear, your birthday is today, happy 57th birthday, missing you so much. Another new year with out you, had your grand kids here the other day, said they missed you a lot, but they are doing pretty good, but they could use your keeping them in line sometimes, you know just like their parents did.  Well honey, i will talk to you later trying to look forward to a new year, but it is very hard without you here to enjoy with me.  love you so much
Your wife

It's Christmas eve and I'm missing you terribly. Had a dream the other day and you were there almost as if you were actually here. The only problem with dreams like that is that they make me miss you more. I hope your keeping an eye on your kids and grandkids and hope you have a happy holiday along with us. Love you soo much.
Your wife

Well it has been 1 year now Dad and I still miss you like its only been a day. I had a rough day today but I know you where watching over me like you always have. I love you and miss you Papa

Well father in-law today is the 1 year mark and it doesn't seem real.  Miss you so very much and we wish that you where here with us. In the past few months your son William has had his moments and had to leave the fishing spot he was at or leave the woods because it got to him knowing he could not do those things with you.  The kid's talk about you all the time and when they are not listening to us we say you better watch it because papa would not be happy and that make's them listen to us. Well your son has taken over in your shoe's on being the funny person to all the kid's and all I can hear is mom saying Billy!!  We miss and love you so very much and wish you where here but we know you are watching over us from up above.  Well lots of hug's and kisses to you and WE LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!

Well Billy it will be a year, and I miss you so much. This past year has been like a fog, wishing it wasn't real but knowing it is. Your grandsons Ryan and Gavin miss you and are still trying to deal with your loss.  I'm sure you're watching them, and hope you can help them; in only the way you could.  I hope you hear me everyday talking to you. We all miss you, and wish you were here with us.

Love you Always, your wife

Dearest Papa, First time I have seen the site to say anything to you. Though you were in our thoughts through your last days, I am sorry I was not there for you. You were the first to welcome me with open arms, and you were the first to hold your beautiful granddaughter, who is blossoming more and more each day. I know you are doing better up there and probably cracking jokes as you always do. We love you very much and miss you more than you know.

Love, Your loving daughter inlaw Tina

i was just reading a conversation between mikes girls and started laughing because you would've put in your remarks if you could of.  they made me laugh thinking of some of the things you would of said.  I miss you so much husband, but you did make me laugh and I will remember that and will make sure your children and grandchildren remember that also.  I keep telling macie that you are in heaven fishing and she says your with uncle gary working on your trucks.

Dearest Uncle Billy-

Words can't even begin to describe how big of an emptiness your passing has left with all who know and love you, I am sincerely honored to have had the privilege to call you uncle. I will always remember your big and caring heart, love of family and friends & your sense of humor.... but also how much maggie loved it when you came to see mom. Enjoy your time fishing and hunting in heaven uncle billy. I will always think of you when I go fishing....

My dear little brother...It was so very hard to say goodbye to you. So many memories of you as a child flooded my head. You had a head full of curls then and that signature "wing" in the front that Mom always thought you boys should have. I will miss the knowledge that you possessed. I learned many things from you. You were the best brother. There  was no one like you. I will miss you till the end of time.

Saddened to hear of Bill's passing. I was a childhood friend of the family.

My sincere condolences go out to Rita and children, Sharon, JoAnn, Julie, Sheryl and Brian. Although I didn't get to see Billy much throughout the past 20 years, I remember my cousin fondly with an infectious smile! He was a wonderfully funny and thoughtful person who always cared deeply for the well being of others. I wish I could attend his service to see him off as he goes on to his soul's next chapter with his dad, mom, Gary, my mother Christine (one of his biggest fans) and many other wonderful family members who passed over before him. I will keep you all in my prayers for strength as you move through your grief missing Billy. Much Love and Many Blessings to you all! Denise Murray Paradis

So sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I send my thoughts and prayer's to family left behind.
