I only found out when I looked you up to see how you were doing since high school. It was a punch in the stomach. Some of us are getting together next month and I thought of you and how I wished I could invite you. I don’t go to HS reunions because there aren’t many people I’d like to see, but I’d like to see you again. You were one of the nice kids. One of the few who never said mean things just to seem cool. I’m so sorry I never got to know you as an adult. 💗

'Thank you Tricia for your words about Bill. I remember him pulling up those socks, he was our baby and it is nice to see that others feel the same way we do about his little giggle. He always had that sweet smile for us even across the room. 
God bless you.'

'Tonight I realized that this new year will bring us to 10 years without you. It's been truly crushing at times. I miss your laugh, your little giggle, your ability to tell any story in the the funniest way possible. Maybe one other person has made me laugh as much as you did, maybe. In these past 9+ years I've missed you a thousand different ways. I loved seeing how much you truly cared for your mom. There was always a sweetness when you spoke of her or to her. I miss your jokes and stories. I remember you telling me how, as a little boy, you were obsessed with pulling your tube socks as high as possible, all day until the elastic wore out. This precious imagine of a minature you repeatedly stopping his play to keep pulling at his socks. You're so missed.'

'I see your beautiful smile. Every penny I see it has to be a sign from you to me because it is when I need it the most I find them, it helps me to carry on. I long for the day when we will be together and hug again for an eternity.

'Bill, I love you very much and await the day I will see your beautiful smile again. God bless your heart, take care of Josh.

'been thinking of you for the last several days... the fun/good times/laughs we had in kerrville, texas. for the brief moment i got to know you, you left a positive lasting impression.

'This message is for "Mike". Thank you so much for your note; you'll never know how much it meant to me after all this time to know someone is thinking & remembering Bill - still...'

'More than two years have passed. And I miss Bill as much as I did on Sept. 11 2005. I'm writing because I drove up Route 117 today - the road he died on - for the first time since. He left a void that will never be filled. I don't know if anyone is still reading these posts. But if you are, you probably miss him like I do. If anything positive can be said about the loss of him, it's that his spirit will live on in everyone who loved him. I often think of Bill when I need to make a decision or set my priorities. I think of what mattered to him and I try to honor his memory by making choices that are consistent with his values and the things I learned from knowing him. It doesn't replace him - nothing ever could - but it helps a little to know he'll never be completely gone.'

'Near a shady wall a rose once grew, 
budded and blossomed 
in God's free light, 
watered and fed by morning dew, 
shedding its sweetness day and night.

'With very great sympathy and sadness. Bill was a wonderful, sweet-natured person. His death is a tremendous loss for all.'

'Dear Bill, I continue to think about you and know that you are in gods hands for a reason. You are an inspiration for all of us. Your gentle spirit and kindness is what I remember most about you. The world is a better place because of you and I know you represent all of us. Peace to you, your friends, and your family. 
With Love, 
Fellow QAS Cat Volunteer

'To Bill's family, we just want to convey our sympathy. Bill was a groomsman in our daughter Kelly and Dan Chadwick's wedding. He was a great guy and we enjoyed him so much. He will be sorely missed. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sincerely, Steve and Marilyn Hill'

'Dear Peggy, 
 When we heard about Bill we began praying for you, your family and friends. I did not have the joy in meeting your children, but reading Bill's love for animals doesn't surprise me knowing you! Sounds like Bill was a blessing to you and many others. My heart pours out to his fiance at this time. I'm so glad we have the promise of eternity with God, but it doesn't remove the sorrow. I know that your blessed son immediately was welcomed into our Heavenly Father's arms. Bless you and all your loved ones whether family or friends as you walk this journey with Bill there and you all here. 
Love, 
Sally and Richard Hood 
We just received this email or would have been in touch sooner.'

'To William's family: I also worked with your son here at ADD Inc. I want to express the feeling of loss we are all experiancing here. Bill was an incredible human being and a talented indivdual, and we will never forget that. Words truly do fail me at this time. He will be missed greatly.'

'To the Francisco family: 
I had the fortunate experience of working with Bill on our new Factory Store design for New Balance. Bill was a very talented architect who captured a wonderful vision for our store. His passion for the design was clearly apparent and he honored much of the culture of the area to get a true representation of the past and present. 
I was deeply saddened to hear of the loss. He was not only professional and competent, but full of life and expression - in otherwords - fun to be around. We enjoyed working with him on our project and will make sure it comes to life with all of his wonderful insight and love of design. He will be missed. 
Deepest Regards, 
Stephanie Smith 
General Manager - Retail 
New Balance Athletic Shoe'

'Bill was my cousin. He did not get to live nearly long enough, and I hoped that we would have many more years to know each other. He was a great cousin, and I will miss him very much. As my sister Wendy said I hope he will be with our Mama Stelle and Papa now, waiting for all of us. 
Brian, your cousin.'

'I wish everyone had been given the good fortune to meet my baby brother Bill! He will be in my heart FOREVER! 
I love you always. 
Lori'

'The news of Bill has brought such sadness to those who knew him. He was a large and loving part of Quincy Animal Shelter and brought much into the lives of homeless animals that could not help themselves. He is in my thoughts and prayers as are those he's left behind. I am deeply sorry for your loss. 
Maria Andrews

I love you ,too

Build beautiful buildings in Heaven

I will look at the falls more often now and think of you 
 Goodbye little Bill 
 Love 
 Wendy'

'Bill was my sweet little nephew, all of his life. He had a gentle spirit and compassionate and caring heart. He loved deeply. 
He will be so deeply missed for the rest of my life. From Aunt Freddie'

'I was one of Bill's colleagues at ADD Inc in Boston. I value my time spent with Bill for many reasons. I witnessed how impassioned he was about design, his unmatchable respectfulness for his colleagues and his overall attitude on life and the smile that accompanied it. These are all traits that I can only hope to match. I'll miss our impromptu chats over his ongoing apartment designs. I extend my prayers to others feeling his loss.'

'ALTHOUGH NO WORDS, HOWEVER KIND, CAN EASE THE LOSS YOU BEAR. MAY IT BRING A SHARE OF COMFORT TO KNOW THAT YOUR AUNT MONTINE CARES.

'I was stunned to hear this tragic news. My heartfelt sympathy to Peggy, "Big Bill", Tom, Lori and Tracy. Please know that we are mindful of your sorrow and are holding you deep in our hearts. May God keep you and strengthen you through this trial.'

'I wish I had met you, your mother was so very proud of you and all you accomplished while here on this earth. I know you were loved!! I will pray for you and I promise to help your mom through this time, as a friend and do what ever I can to bring comfort to her. Be brave, you are now a solider of God, may your soul fly among the angles and saints in God's Kingdom!!

'Bill was the first person we met when we moved to Quincy. During the short time we knew him he introduced us to music, movies and of course, the Quincy Animal Shelter. His kindness, generosity, and sense of humor will be missed. We were greatly saddened to hear of his passing; our thoughts go out to his family during this difficult time.'

'Dear Francisco family and friends, 
I had the pleasure of volunteering with Bill at the Quincy Animal Shelter- Bill was very committed to helping out the animals and the shelter in numeraous ways and made a huge impact during his time with us. Bill and I worked on the marketing committee for the shetler and he helped us with numerous design projects. Of his many contributions, I think the biggest was that he created/ designed our new logo. That logo has given the shelter a new look and identity and we proudly use it on all our marketing and communication materials, business cards, newsletters and press releases, and clothing. 
 I imagine you'll hear from numerous people who's lives and hearts he has touched. And though I only knew Bill through his volunteer work, I wanted to let you know how much I will treasure the memory of working with him, how committed he was and what a big heart he had for the animals and that he will live on through the work he did, for us all at QAS. I'm glad I had a chance to know him.'

'The only man willing to do cat care...whenever asked to help, his only response was "sure". He generously gave of himself and his talents to the animals and his friends at the Quincy Animal Shelter. 
We are deeply saddened by the news of his untimely passing. Bill will live on forever at QAS; especially in the magnificent logo he created. He had very specific reasons for each detail he used. 
Our hearts go out to his family. 
" He came along and left footprints on our hearts, and we will never be the same". 
Bill: love you and miss you!

'I volunteered at the Quincy Animal Shelter on Tuesday nights with Bill and I will always remember how gentle and kind he was and how much he loved the animals. Every time I look at the shelter's logo, or watch the cats lounging on the shelves he built I will remember him. His spirit will definitely live on in my memory and the memories of all who knew him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends and I feel privileged that I got to know Bill even though it was only for a brief time. Take care and God bless. Amy Rogers'

'Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of this gentle, kind, sweet young man; your child, your brother, your friend. It is indeed difficult to conceive a more cruel and premature end to a life that held such promise; it is a loss that beggars the imagination.

'I got to know Bill while volunteering with him and Youlia on Tuesday nights at Quincy Animal Shelter. He was a very kind, gentle and loving person. He loved cats, and they certainly loved him, I will always remember Bill with the Kitties who would almost fall asleep when he started to use his special little massage trick that only he could do! He was a wonderful person, and will be greatly missed. I am glad that I had the opportunity to spend time with him.

'My condolences and prayers go out to the entire Francisco family. May God Bless you in this time of mourning.'

'I worked alongside Bill for 2 years at SHR Architects in Hingham, MA. Bill was a good friend with an enthusiastic spirit. All of us at SHR miss him dearly.'

'I did not know William Payne Francisco IV personnally, but I work with Janice Nylander, his aunt, at Gainesville College in Georgia. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Francisco's family and especially to Janice in this time of sadness.'

'Bill was a wonderful person. They really don't get any nicer. I volunteered with Bill at the Quincy Animal Shelter. He was always willing to take special needs cats and kittens into his home and care for them until they were well and it was time for them to be adopted. A difficult but very loving thing to do. He developed a wonderful, very clever, logo for us and did a great job designing a better adult cat room. He always did things with such care and concern. I am so sorry about this tragic loss. He will be certainly be missed. With deepest sympathy, Sharon Browne'

'I had the privilege of working with Bill at Flansburgh Associates in Boston. You had so much to offer to so many more people Bill, but in your short life you impacted so many. You were the type of person who would welcome a stranger into your life with a big smile. And you will be the there to welcome everyone when it is their time to go. I'll be looking for your smile in the crowd.....

'Bill, 
Your loving ways and gentle touch with the animals will be missed by all of your friends at the Quincy Animal Shelter. We will never forget you and will always thank God in our hearts for the time we got to spend with you. 
Sincerely 
Treasa Downey 
Executive Director, Quincy Animal Shelter'
