I have lost a great friend and Babylon and Suffolk County have lost a skilled, compassionate paramedic much too early. God Bless You, Bill.

How fortunate  we were  to have Bill and his family invite us on many  their family vacations. It was just a beautiful bonding time for all of us. These memories will forever be in our hearts

Introducing Bill and his family to our Lithuanian custom of our Easter Egg fight.

Bobby and I are sending our condolences . We are deeply saddened by your losses.
Love,
Bobby and  Patrice Piretti 

This morning I had a bad flood in my basement and I had to go to the basement which is a disaster! Within seconds of me, being in the basement, I found this photo❤️
It was unusual to come across that photo on this very day. I say it was a God incident.

Billy:
May the candle light your way to ever lasting peace at home with your Lord in Heaven…
Hugs, Sympathy, And Prayers!

When you think of all the lives Bill saved and people he helped throughout his career, and all the good Bill did, then you have to say that if Bill isn't in heaven then there ain't no such place.  Earl Baim

My name is Brian Jude Loiacono, I only had met Billy a few years back at Physical Therapy, and simply stated, he was the epitome of a wonderful warm hearted family man.  After a few weeks early on, I realized what a caretaker of the community he was.  He did it with drive, sensitivity, and compassion.  To his family who are all hurting now, he is holding you all by the hand, because that’s what Billy did.  I extend deepest condolences and sympathies to all of you as I too am grieving the loss of this beautiful person.  He loved you all very much, as he would brag about his family to me while sitting in the waiting room.  I know you are in Heaven now among all the Angels and Saints, because they now have a new member of their religious community.  God Bless you always Billy, until I see you down the road.💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Bender family. So many fond memories from our childhood and adulthood are being recalled over the past two days and will never be forgotten.  Billy was a fixture in the Babylon Fire Department. I always picture him with his fingers interlaced across his chest "holding court" after a company or department meeting.  Infinite wisdom. We love you and will miss you. 
Russ Griesmer and Family

May he rest in peace with the Angels in heaven.
