It’s with sadness to learn of Billy’s passing. We worked together briefly and became friends for a short while. He was incredibly caring and kind. Such a helpful person. 

The best 10 years of my life were spent with you. Thank you, Billy. I can’t wait until I see you again. 

When ever we take the Ice, we honor Billy.  This Tuesday we again play for a beer league championship...  We will not take our time together as a team for granted.  We miss you Billy 🏒🥅

William was a wonderful person and had so much joy and love to share. I met William as one of our patients. His laugh, smile and humor will be deeply missed. Rest in Heaven William and know you are love all around!!

Billy-

You always had that tremendous larger than life laugh and smile at the rink.   Despite only playing together a few times (mostly against each other), you always knew my name and would chat away. I think our last conversation was between games and went for close to an hour.  You will be missed, buddy. 

De Palma family:  Billy was a fixture at the local rinks.  I have asked our league director if I could buy a new championship trophy and name it the De Palma Cup after Billy.  Please let me know if you’d approve of this in Billy’s memory. 

Billy,

Not only were you a great goalie and teammate,  you were also an amazing human being. Playing with and against you for the past 10 years has been an honor. You always had a big smile on your face whenever you walked into the locker room.  I’m going to miss you bud. The hockey community is going to miss you the most though.  

Billy...  

The past few weeks I have sent you a ton of messages trying to recruit you on  our next hockey team as we reopen from the pandemic...  obviously not knowing.  My heart is broken for your family and our team send our deepest condolences.

Our hockey fraternity will honor your memory and the great moments we shared.  

DePalma family,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of such a great guy. Bill and I became friends in the early 2000's through the integration of mutual friend groups. Our group of mid-20's guys living in Boston spent every weekend together. Aside from the outgoing and fun guy we all knew and loved, we also were lucky to be the recipients of his warm heart and loyal friendship. While we all got busy in our lives on opposite coasts and may not have spoken as often, I am grateful to have had such an easy friendship where we could easily catch up as if no time had passed. 

I know that words wont take the pain away but I hope you can find some solace in knowing that he was loved and positively impacted my life and those of our entire 'Boston crew'.

Billy.......My Soul Friend.   My best friend.  Rogue, Sully, Ruby and I WILL see you again. 

Our lives will never be the same., until we meet again.  

Billy, my teammate, my brother between the pipes, a lifetime ago.... so sad to see this news.... love and prayers to the DePalma family...

Dear DePalma Family, 

Although I only worked with Billy for a short while. I knew that every time we’re conducting business he would always make the best of the situation. Cracking jokes while taking care of businesses. Every person I know that knew of Billy, absolutely love him. Our family here at TruNorthe are here to contribute in any way. Please let us know.  

Love,
-Rick Glenn 

Billy and I worked briefly together and he was always smiling and laughing and cracking jokes. We attended a luncheon together once and we got to know each other a bit, he definitely loved hockey!! I am heartbroken to hear of his passing, he will be remembered as the loving, fun, hard working man that he was. May we all find peace in knowing he made a great impact on many of his colleagues, clients, partners and friends, we all miss him and thank him for his friendship and genuinely loving demeanor. My sincere condolences to all those who know him and are missing him, he will be in our hearts always. 

My deepest condolences to the family of Billy.  Another life taken way too soon.  You will be missed my friend.  I know we didn't really speak too much after highschool, but taking my son trick or treating in the old neighborhood and visiting with your folks and hearing them talk about you it felt like we were still young and growing up playing ball.  Rest easy my friend!!!

Sue and I were heartbroken about the passing of Billy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Depalma  and Franz family. Love Bob
