💖RIP💖 I did not know mr. Terezakis. I just saw the dedication at the end of the Disney+ movie "Peter Pan & Wendy"

✨Go with God, Canadian Brother✨🙏🏼✨

Meet you later.


Gracias por todo todos tus trabajos y saber hacerlo con humor y respeto.

Gracias por tus trabajos en la ciencia ficción. Un abrazo fuerte a la familia.

I saw the mention in the credits of the last episode of Resident Alien, season 2. To his family, I wish you nothing but peace and solace. There is a Hebrew saying that goes something like this. Do not be angry he is no more, but, be grateful that he was. 

I just learned of Bill Terezakis death from Resident Alien and had to look him up on the internet. He sounds like an incredible artist and will surely be missed from the making of movies and audiences as well. Condolences to the family and friends.  He'll always be with us in the movies he helped create..💔

I didn't know the man, but from what I've learned upon reading up all about him, he was amazing. He did amazing work, he had a loving family, lots of friends, and many people who will miss him dearly.  In the end, that is the true measure of a man: Who will remember you, and for what? And from all the memories I've seen people leaving here, this was a great and wonderful man. He will be missed by all. I wish I had known him. Godspeed.

Sorry for your loss. His work was amazing. Remember the good times.

Its been1 year now and I will never forget back in 2011 you changed my life, you encouraged me to take a big step in my life and convinced me to move out of Winnipeg to Vancouver and took me under your wing, taught me so much about enjoying life and believing in my self and my own talent as a chef. We had some good times laughing about weird stuff, taking me for drives around town, showing me your old haunts, places you liked to eat, telling me story's and sharing life experiences. I never had a father, but I had father figures in my life and you were the biggest influence. I remember you taught me how to shave on your way out to work wen I was once visiting. You took an apple and a razor and said don't do this and you stabbed it! haha! I never forget that. Those early days of when I moved to Vancouver and living with you, where some of my best times. Thank you for helping me do some self discovery and guidance. To this day, when I show others around, I am always like, yup my Uncle Bill took me here, it be a bagel shop or bubble tea or a park, coffee shop, You were the first to expose me to everything I know about Vancouver. I am so grateful for you to get me on my feet in this town and your business sense has helped me with my own work! I wish we could crank up Bob Marley and have another gut wrenching laugh of pure enjoyment! I was always a sucker for your story's and laughs. RIP my Uncle Bill. Much love and respect. Peace Damien.

To my sweet dad
I miss you so much some days it's hard to breath . I miss your fatherly wisdom,  your laughter, your jokes, your hugs and kisses. The way you would open up a door for me and always say "watch your step hunny." My heart is broken that it has been a whole year without you. I feel your spirit and guidance with me often. I know you and mama are in heaven always trying to protect me and the girls.  Not a day goes by where Lizzie and Alice dont talk about you. Lizzie has your creativity in making wonderful art projects and Alice is mastering sound effects and your quirky sence humor. In so many ways you are living on through your granddaughters and it makes me smile to see the similarities, I just wish I could share these moments with you. Love you forever dad I hope you are at peace.❤🌻🕊

Love always,
Your little girl- Tabalina ❤

Today is one year since my Bill left us suddenly if I only knew you where having that horrible pain I would have gotten you to the Hospital,but you choose to keep it to yourself so you could finish the Peter Pan Movie.I miss you so much my Man Jack our laughs and talks you had so much love  for me as I had for you my son,and I am waiting for the day when we will be together again.RIP.

I first met Bill when we brought him in to work on Jumanji. Bill was a extremely talented sculpture, painter and many more areas.  
He was always getting me with some sort of joke, or one of the other crew.  
I’m extremely happy Bill got into what he wanted everything from a gun shot make up to mechanical monkeys.
Your spirit And memory well last night and for many decades in the movies you have worked on .
Fly High Bill

I was a friend of Maureens many years ago.   I was there when Bill and Maureen first met.  And although our paths drifted apart.  I always liked to follow what movies they were working on and tell our son.  I used to know the people who made these things.  I was so happy they had found each other and thought what a beautiful love story.     Maureen my heart goes out to you.   What I Remeber most about Bill was his awesome sense of humour and that he made us home made spaghetti  one night for dinner!   I wish we could have all spent time over the years.   



Truly Saddened….my sincere condolences to Bill’s family, and his Crew
Bill and I have spent many hours working together. Not only was it about  his super talented work, but our experiences in life. Many great late night chats……
Rest In Peace my Dear Friend

Bill-- You we're not only the most talented guy I ever met but also the funniest. I always looked up to you like a big brother and our talks meant the world to me when we we're lucky enough to hang out or just talk on the phone. I am crushed by your loss but know you are somewhere else now inspiring and giving the best 'gut laughs' to others--  The world is simply a lesser place with out you.

My heart goes out to Maureen and all of Bills family.

Billy "Bonkers", I was saddened of your way to early passing dear cousin.  I know you are making everyone laugh up in Heaven because you did so here on Earth.
I was fortunate to have worked with you in the early 90's for Minos Painting.  The dreaded days of waking up early to go to work was made better when seeing you and having laughs throughout the day.
You will be dearly missed Billy!!!!!

To Theo Manoli, Thea Sara,  Anthony, Donna, Cathy, Maureen, Tabitha - I send my  deepest sympathies and love to you.
Our family will forever remain strong together and will share in the journey to finding peace after this difficult loss. 

Love
Niko and Dora Papoutsakis

Bill, you were a giant in my life. It was a blessing to know you, and an honor to call you my friend. Wherever you went, you filled the world with your overflowing spirit and joy. Any memory I have of you, you're figuring out some way to churn laughter out of the day. 
In Grade 10 typing, we'd use our new typing skills to exchange officious-looking notes. "Please excuse Bill for being late to school this morning. He had cancer. - Signed, Bill's Mom." "Please excuse Bill for missing school last month. He couldn't leave the table until he ate his vegetables. - Signed, Bill's Mom."  You made me laugh so hard - the teacher denounced us both and promised we would never be good typists.
You were such an amazing artist. As kids, I was always amazed at how every scrap of paper in your house was covered in sketches of various monstrosities. Your imagination was boundless. And then you got your first shipment of alignate and dental stone - boom, your creations leapt from the page and into life, fully realized in 3d.  
I have so many fantastic memories of hanging out in your basement with a rogue's gallery of buddies while you played an endless stream of wrestling shows and insanely bizarre horror movies, with your Pappous growing increasingly alarmed. 'Kaput!' he'd yell. 'Kaput!' And you'd have to patiently explain how none of this was real. 
The only thing that was real to you was family, and your boundless love for them. You grew up surrounded by such a cacophony of love. Your dad waking all the kids up at 3am for a middle of the night feast - trying to squeeze just a bit more love into the day. Your mom did such an amazing job of wrangling your house together with her beautiful sing-song voice, full of love and embracing everyone you brought into your world. 
You gave so much to this world, Bill, and you've been taken from us far too soon. You taught me to laugh at the monsters and find joy in them, but Vasili, this is one monster too many. 
I love you buddy. 



It's a sorry heart to hear of the passing of Billy. Donna called me to inform me that Billy passed away. I have no words to say how sorry I was to hear this shocking news. My deepest sympathies to the entire family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time and I wish that I could be there to support you all. Billy was a master of his craft and created a lot of masks for the movie industry. The best part of Billy is that he never let the fame or money go to his head. Billy was still the Billy I knew growing up in Winnipeg. Our families were like relatives, always together spending time at the Lake or Assiniboine Park by the Steam Engine enjoying family picnics.  Kerry & I send our Love to you all, and may Billy's Memory be Eternal.

Dear Terezakis family, 
Manoli and Sara, Tabytha, Maureen, Anthony, Donna and Cathy and the rest of the family,

It was with great sadness that I learned of Bill's recent passing, especially since we had a very warm reconnection last year after many years apart.

He touched the lives of many. I am grateful to have called him a friend. I will always remember his bright smile, mischievous laugh, enormous artistic talent and caring heart.

There are so many amazing memories that I have of Bill as we went through a lot together as friends and business partners, and he taught me a lot about having humanity towards others, as well as how to make delicious soup from just about anything.

There are so many times together that I will never forget and Bill spoke of all of  you all the time,  to the point that I felt like I knew each and every one of you.

His legacy of great works of art will live on in films forever, and so will his legacy as a person to all who knew him.

During our wonderful connecting  experience last year we spoke of all the challenging and exciting times in our early days, some of the people we had met along the way, and some of the quaint places we went for affordable meals and had a lot of nostalgic smiles in the process.

I was so pleased to have reunited with him and heartbroken to hear  this sad news.

I promise to keep Bill's memory alive in my heart always, and I will cherish that memory forever.

Καλό παράδεισο αγαπητός και ταλαντούχος φίλος μας Bill Terezakis. Μνήμη αιώνια. ζωή σε μας. Τα συλλυπητήρια μου στην οικογένειά.

Thinking of you all at this difficult time, and sending you love, strength, and peace.

With deepest sympathies, Adam Behr

Sara, Manoli and family.  Those we love don't go away. They walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed, and very dear. It´s hard to forget someone who gave so much to remember. Lovely memories that keep you smiling warmly. When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.

He had a nature you could not help loving, and a heart that was purer than gold.  And to those who knew him and loved him his memory will never grow cold. 
Our sincerest condolences, Tom Baker, Ann Marie Vouri, Rosemary Baker

Manoli , Sarah  ,   Tabitha , Donna   and Tony   and  family 
Im still in shock and lost for words  with  Bills  passing.   Bill  was  a   kind   soul and  always  had  a smile on his  face.  He was  so  talented. As  a relative  I  was  proud  of  his  achievements .  I  will  never  forget when  Bill  came from  Winnipeg  to  Vancouver and stayed  with  my  family    before   going to  school  for  special effects.  Bill  you  will be missed. .   You  died  too  soon and  I'm  so  devastated My  deepest condolences.  Love   Angela 

Our deepest condolences to the Terezakis family on this terrible loss. Bill was a giant in his field. The world is  less brilliant without him. May the cherished memories of Bill ease the pain of his passing.  Sending you our biggest hugs.
