Oh, Billy! You were larger than life, funnier than Mr. Dangerfield, and a friend to all. We shall never forget you.

Bill was a one of a kind and a friend of mine. He will be missed greatly by me and a lot of Island people.

Billy was special, he was bigger then life. Someone who took his friends on special adventures, just to make them happy. You will be missed. I'll always remember your remarkable story telling. RIP Billy

I worked for Billy for two summers in the '60s. Lots of laughs and adventures, many of them delightfully subversive. Rest in peace, Billy. You made the Island a happier place.
