I was sorry to hear of your loss. I remember how amiable Billy was, ready to enjoy a good laugh. I also recalled the good times Billy, his brother Joe and his Dad shared with our family during harvest, getting the wagons ready, the hard work, the hot days and the big dinners And that led to remembering the enjoyment of Billy&&single&&s mother, Lucy&&single&&s, her warmth and the good food that was served when we went to the house. Lots of good memories.
Kathy & Greg O&&single&&Reilly

We send you our deepest sympathy in the passing of your father & grandfather. We would like to pay our respects in person, but as we are out of the country are unable to do so. I did see Billy last March & had a nice chat with him then.
I remember the good times we had at the farm when we were growing up.

Was sorry to hear of Billy dying. I had some good visits with him in Clinton hosp near Christmas. We talked about his Dad and mine sharing threshing together when we were both younger. He also talked about remembering Maureens death as he was the same age.
My best to the family.
