Billy - I never knew a man who was as good a friend and brother as you were to Michael. I won't forget the card games, the belly laughs and dart games at Croz. I'm so glad we made up and were able to be close again. You certainly were one of a kind and I'll never forget you.

To the family of Billy Curtin,



It's been quite a while since I last saw Bill from the old Nativity Trojan football days and DLS days as well as Donovan Park times. But I must say to you Bill as you well know was a solid guy one who said what he felt, no matter right or wrong; he stood up for what he believed and I admired him for that demeanor.

He was a friend to me and someone I will always remember-I pray he is in a better place smiling with all the angels and saints in Heaven above.

May God shine light on him and bring him eternal favor. He will be missed but never forgotten. God Bless YOU always and especially during this difficult time.
