Mis más sinceras condolencias para mi Tía Gina y mi primo Elmer. Uncle Billy será recordado por su bondad, humor, generosidad y el amor que compartió con todos. Que su memoria sea una bendición. Les envío fuerza, consuelo y paz en este momento.

Fishing was one of Billy’s favorite pastimes.

Tio Billy siempre le gusto celebrar en familia! "Hasta que nos volvamos a encontrar".

Gonna miss you so much, Vasilakiii mou! You filled every room with love, laughter, and your amazing cooking. Rest easy, Uncle Billy  ❤️

My dearest papoli, I’m forever grateful for the sweetest childhood you gave us. You are the most bravest, selfless, charming, wittiest person I know. You always made sure everyone was taken care of and loved. I will miss mornings in the diner with you, those sweet days fishing with you, and those warm nights by the fire in the Poconos. We will miss the spark you brought to a room, and those same catchphrases you say. You’re the greatest grandfather anyone can ask for, and for that we are blessed. Thank you for living your life to the fullest, unapologetically yourself.

Mis sentidas condolencias para la hna. Esther y para el resto de la familia, que Dios fortalezca sus corazones y ponga paz aún en medio del dolor.

“You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.” — Desmond Tutu

Vasilios Michalopoulos was not the father that nature gave to me , but he truly was the father that God planned for me to have. He came into my life when I was three years old.  In the beginning, we were strangers to one another, however with time we grew to love each other.  And he accepted me as his own and I accepted him. Since then, our lives have been linked. My struggles became his , and my achievements became his achievements. He was always there for me when I needed him and in his later years I had the honor to be there for him as well. He taught me how to be a man , not through words but I learned through his actions. His loving heart and giving nature became benchmarks of what I aimed to be. 

Billy, Now that you are gone , you leave a legacy of cherished memories and loving moments that I will always hold on to. I am so grateful that you walked into my life and I will be sure to never let you go. I love you always “Papi Billy” ….

I’ll miss you more than words can say. You were the heart of this family, the one who held us all together. Life, birthdays, and holidays just won’t be the same without you. There’s an empty space in my heart that nothing will ever fill, but I’ll keep your memory alive and make sure your spirit is never forgotten.

Love,

Andrea

Nuestro más sentido pésame a su viuda Esther Correa y demás familiares. Dios les de paz y consuelo. Marta y Alejandro Ortiz

As we say in Greece, God may rest his soul. Because we know that one day we will meet again even though tears come to flood our eyes and sadness breaks our heart for this separation.
Uncle Billy, 
My dad whom I know you loved a lot, will be there for you with the rest of the family. As we say here, you only take with you, the good things you’ve done in your life, so you have a lot of them to support you.  

As a great Greek actor called Thanasis Veggos said, when someone asked him about what happiness is, he answered:
"My son, I had to get old enough to find out what happiness is. Happiness is two hands only. Not many hands because they will confuse you. Just two is all you need otherwise you loose time. Those that will cook for you caress you, hug you and finally close your eyes when the time comes."
I know you had to fight a lot in your life and go through many difficulties but in the end you were blessed to have those two hands.  
God may rest your soul in piece.
