Dear Marti, Sanda, Vee, Marie and family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Billy was such a a great guy, family person. I am so glad I got to see him and spend time with him when he was in Rhode Island last. We had so much fun and his family mean't everything to him and he meant everything to us!

I pray that God will give you strength through this most difficult time and that the all of the memories and good times you shared with him will give you comfort at this difficult time. He will be sadly missed.

With deepest sympathy,

Your cousins Elaine, Ed & Diana

God Bless and comfort you Marti. For 55 years he was my friend and we shared all those adolescent things that remain forever in our memories. I remember his stern dads booming voice blaming the girls for taking all the bath towels and making meatballs with a raisin in the middle with his mom. Pushing that old Plymouth to jump start it and more than a few "cold ones". Tho we didn't see each other for many years when you guys moved away, I often thought of my childhood friend and the things we shared that can only be remembered but never be repeated. Marie, Sandy and Vicki, I wish you peace and strength at this time and to all the wonderful Rocchios', thank you for being in my life.

Marti and Family,

We've all lost one of the good ones - Bill was a great guy and neighbor. May the many years you had together provide the memories to sooth and comfort your loss.

God will bless his soul.

Dear Marti and family, a day hasn't gone by that we don't talk about Billy. We had so much fun staying up all night playing cards, eating dough boys, playing pool. Billy always made us laugh. Marti remember when you and Bill came to our house after Nikki was born and Bill went over to the dressing table where she was? Does "Hello little girl sound familiar"? I can still see and hear him and that was over 40 years ago. We have so many happy memories of Billy. He touched everyone he met. Billy, though we didn't see you often in our later years, you were always in our hearts and thoughts. Rest In Peace our dear friend. We love you.
