I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and Billy's children. I pray that his children will not forget and also learn more about what a wonderful and good person their father was.

I remember as far back as second grade the kindness that Billy showed as a young boy. Through our adolescence he grew into a beautiful, funny and caring young man. It was unusual to meet a teen aged boy that was as capable as Billy was, of being such a good friend.

In recent years, I was able to get a glimpse of what a sensitive and thoughtful man that Billy had become. I feel truly honored to have known Billy throughout my childhood, pre-adolescence and teen age years. Every time I ran into him as an adult, he brought a smile to my face. These memories of Billy will always be in my mind and heart.

Dear Billy, This is a sad time for all of you and I pray for your peace. I don't know if you remember me, we grew up together in South Deering. I was called "Magurk". I read this obituary and my heart was heavy for your family. I can't even imagine what it must feel like to loose a son. May God hold you all in His hands at this time.............Most Sincerely, Mary Frain-Domke

Grandma, Papa, Will, Bailey, Wyatt, Mom, Uncle Mike, and Auntie,





I dont know where to begin. I would like more than anything to tell you this in person, but I wouldn't be able to. I can't even believe this is real. Uncle Bill was such a great guy, and he had so much, maybe not material wise, but much love surrounding him. I miss him a lot. I hope we can look back and remember the good times we had with him. He gave me my first real 1st cousins, and his great smile is the thing I remember most fondly about him. And I still can't get over the way his eyes lit up when he laughed.

He was a great dad. His kids were his life, I could tell. It's so hard to deal with losing my Uncle Boo. I hope our family unites, and the bond becomes stronger in honor of him. I'm so sorry about everyone's loss.

Uncle Bill, I love you. I hope your heaven is a peaceful one. May we meet again someday.
