William Nolan Obituary

God bless you billy

I got to know Billy and though our time together was not long,I still had a deep love for him.I never forgot the time we spent together or the amazing man he was to me.I am so sorry and saddened by his loss.But I do send my condolences & prayers to the family.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

it's been a year since Billy left. God bless the Nolan family and help them get though this difficult time. God bless Billy. He is greatly missed.

I just found out today...and it saddens me deeply. Billy was such a nice and genuine person, and his darn smile was great. I have so many memories from growing up of running around the Nolan house with Staci and Billy, and sitting at the kitchen table with Mrs. Nolan, Billy and Staci, all making fun of each other and laughing all day. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

May the support from your family and friends encourage you. May you cherish the memories and kind words from so many people about Billy.

Dear Nolan Family,

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time. We will miss Billy very much!

Sincerely,

Bill, Marybeth & Family:

We wish to offer our deepest sympathy and prayers to you during this difficult time. While it has been sometime since I coached Bill in Bobcat Baseball, I have managed to keep track of the lives of many of the boys, including Bill. He was unique. He will be forever missed and will remain fondly in the hearts of many.

I received the sad news from Marlene. Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

John & Deborah Huddleston

BamBam,
Though I may never understand why God chose for you to leave us so soon, I take comfort in knowing that you will always be looking down, watching over us. You were my best friend for most of our childhood. You were the one person who could always make me laugh and watched out for me when we were on the field together.
I remember when you used to introduce me to your friends... "This is my cousin..." you would always say and my response would always be "no we are not." Back then I used to correct you because you were more than just "family", you were my childhood crush. You were the one friend I always knew I could count on. As we got older and we grew apart, I began to introduce you as my "cousin" to my friends. Though the childhood crush faded, the love never did. You are one of the best friends I have ever had. I consider myself one of the luckiest people to have known and been a part of you like.
You are my BamBam. I will love, miss, and cherish you for the rest of my life.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dear Bill, Marybeth and Staci,

You are in our thoughts and prayers. Billy will be missed very, very much. We are so very sorry for your loss.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Dear Billy, Staci, Mr & Mrs Nolan,

I grew up with Randy and was introduced to Billy and his big smile and fun personality. We played hockey many late nights on the ponds, TP baseball and most of all floor hockey - me stuck on the "ducks" or something and always feared playing Billy and the "blue team" (or wings?) that always dominated the league. You got your own wings now kid. I hope that your family and friends are surrounded by love and support at this time and I will tell my sister to introduce herself, she'll show you around.

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
The sun shine warm upon your face
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

Peace Bro.

Nolan Family:

I am so sorry for your loss. I am sure that everyone who went to school with Billy is feeling sadness- he was a genuine, caring person. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Nolan Family:
We are so very sorry to hear of your loss. My brother introduced us to Bill a few years ago. One of the best memories we have of Bill was our trip to Puerto Vallarta, where he joined our family for the vacation. His smile and sense of humor always drew a crowd, even in Mexico with a crowd of starngers. We had a great time on that vacation - and we will never forget what a great person Bill was. We were fortunate to have him as a friend.

I have known Billy since grade school and the silly tales of Ms. Walter’s 4th grade class are what I’ll cherish during this dark time. My family and I extend our most sincere thoughts and prayers to the entire Nolan family for your sudden loss.

I've had the pleasure of working with Billy the past few years at the amphitheatre. He was always a friend to me and anyone he worked with. He'll be sorely missed but not forgotten. My deepest sympathy to the Nolan family.

I loved billy like a brother. We grew up together, we worked together. Words can't describe how much he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to Uncle Bill , Mary and Staci

My thoughts and prayers are with the Nolan family. Bill will definitely be missed by everyone whose lives he has touched. He could always put a smile on someones face just by looking at them and we are all grateful to have had Bill in our lives at one point. Rest in peace Bill, you are loved and missed.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Our deepest condolences to the Nolan Family on the loss of your son. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Nolan Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am deeply sorry and saddened by your loss. I had the pleasure of hanging out with Billy a few years back. He was an amazing person inside and out. He will always have a special place in my heart.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Billy. I only knew him through working with him - but I always looked forward to seeing him on a job because he was such a kind, thoughtful, hard working and caring person. His generous smile and sincerity would brighten any situation we might be in. I always respected and regarded Billy to be truly genuine, a man who lived life fully. I pray for the peace of his family.

Dear Nolan family,
My heart goes out to you in this most difficult time. From the times of Bobby and Billy playing ball together, to me and Staci in soccer, and then on to college cherished memories were created that will last a lifetime. May God be with you, and know Billy will never be forgotten.

I went to high school with Bill. He was always so sweet. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this difficult time.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Our prayers are with your family, We have been sharing so many memories of Billy, ryan, randy, danny, and mikey, playing in the cornfield with cattails , playing baseball, just doing what boys will do.So many good memories of a fun loving kids. And that is how we will remember billy. always laughing and having fun. God bless you and your family

No words can express the deep sadness I feel for your loss. I pray the Lord heals your hearts and minds quickly. Frank will take good care of Bill...

Mary Beth,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family.
Gale Armstrong Moses (Class of 71)

Billy and I dated a few years ago, and although we havent talked in a few years...I will never forget watching him catch in his baseball games, his wonderful sense of humor (and sarcastic laugh), and his cute little smile. He was such a sweet person and I will never forget him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Dear Nolan Family,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Billy. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers

Bill will always be remembered for his smile and sense of humor. He will truly be missed. My prayers are with the entire Nolan family. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Maribeth and Bill; It's hard to imagine your pain at this time. I am so sorry for the loss of your son. While time and distance keep people apart, it's times like these that draw us back together.

Although I pretty much knew Billy from "just" working calls with him with IATSE Local # 2, I will always remember the smile, the laugh, and how "welcome" he made me feel when I had just gotten my union card. No BS from this kid, he was the "real deal". I pray and hope his family will find peace and comfort in knowing that they raised a "VERY good boy". I am so sorry for your loss.

I went to high school with Bill and though I did not know him as well as some others did, I was able to tell that he was just a really down-to-earth type of guy!!! He never came across as full of himself and we can all thank you, his parents and family, for that!!!! My deepest, deepest condolences to all of you and to all who knew him!!!!

Dear Bill and Marybeth,

I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with and your family during these difficult days ahead.

The Nolan Family,
I am so sorry for your loss I have known Bill since 7th grade. He was a great friend. He also made me laugh. Bill will be truly missed.

Nolan/Scapardine family,
May God give you strength in this most difficult time. I met Billy through his sister Staci. She and her husband used to live across the street from me. I did not know him well but everytime I saw him at his sister's house or at one of his nephew's birthday parties, he made you laugh! The last time I saw him was at his nephew Jacob's birthday party. We talked about the concerts that were held at the World Theatre over the summer. He worked all the concerts there and I would see him there sometimes. I truly will remember him smiling and goofing around with his nephew, Jacob. Billy, a true kid at heart, you will not be forgotten!! Staci, words alone cannot comfort but hopefully the great memories of your brother Billy will live on forever. If there is anything at all that you need, me, Dawn and the kids will be there for you.

Dear Bill, Marybeth and Stacy
We are thinking of you during this difficult time, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer. I will miss Billy, I will miss his smile, I will miss Billy... May god bless all of you during this time and always.

Our deepest feelings for the entire family. Memories of the past, starting with the boys 8 year old baseball team and continuing on to Bill Sr. and my friendship. You are all in my prayers.

Nolan Family my deepest condolences and sympathy for your loss. I was so saddened and shocked to hear the news about Bill. My last memory of him just two short weeks ago will be one that I will never forget. We ran into each other in the last place I thought I'd see him. He looked over at me stuck out his tongue, smiled and waved. As always he was being goofy! It seemed like forever since I had last seen him and I now know why we ran into each other that day. I will always remember Bill as many of you will also, as a caring, outgoing, sarcastic, funny and a all around loveable guy. There will never be a day that Bill is not thought about. It is such a shame that a beautiful life was taken so suddenly. We were all truly blessed to have such an amazing guy touch our lives threw out the years. He will forever be missed! May all of your unforgettable memories of Bill keep him alive in your hearts and bring you comfort in the days ahead as I know they will in mine. My deepest sympathy goes out to the Nolan family and friends of Bill. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. RIP Bill ... You will never be forgotten! Love ya Billy!

I'm so very sorry for your loss! My heartfelt prayers and condolences go out to all of you. I knew him in high school, and remember him being a wonderful person with a bright smile.

To the Nolan Family,
As you know, I've known not only Billy but all of you for almost my whole life. My family and I send out our deepest regrets and support for you during this terrible time. Billy will live on forever in all of our hearts.

I went to high school with Bill and remember him fondly. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Bill and Marybeth,
Please accept our sincerest sympathy in the loss of your beloved Billy. We are praying that God holds your hearts during this diffcult time. We send our love to you and your family.

Dear Nolan Family, I live next door to Billy. He was a lovely boy. As parents you should be so proud. After meeting Staci I saw the same lovely characteristics. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Billy Nolan...him and I played baseball together since we were 8. I remember all of the hilarious times we shared together. He could always bring a smile to my face and make me laugh. He will truly be missed and I am honored to say he was one of my friends. My thoughts and prayers are with the Nolan family.

Nolan Family~
I am so sorry to hear about your tragic loss. I hope you can find strength and peace in your memories of Bill. You're in my thoughts.

I knew Bill through mutual friends, and although I didnt know him well, I was always happy to have him come around. Even if I wasnt in the greatest mood, that kid NEVER failed to make me laugh. My condolences go out to the Nolan family. You'll be missed, Billy.....Rest In Peace

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

It's difficult to compose a posting without sounding redundant. That's because Billy meant so many positive things to so many people. To my brother, Ray and I he was nothing short of a younger brother. Always up for some mischief or good-natured fun, Billy possessed an uncanny ability to brighten up a room.

For the past ten years, Billy, Ray, and I were like the "three amigos". In good times and bad, we had each others backs, regardless of the circumstances. His good-nature, creativity, humor, loyalty, and love was what made him one of my very best friends. Although our time together seemed so short, his impact on my life will last forever.

TO THE NOLAN FAMILY
The loss of your son is immeasurable for your family as well as all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was one of the few "true friends" in life for me and I miss him. His laugh, his love of life, and sarcastic charm and charisma will be greatly missed by all. God Bless.

Dear Nolan family,
We can not express enough our condolences for your loss. Some of the best memories we have are growing up with billy. He was truly a great guy and will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

All my love~

My heart goes out to you. Bill was a wonderful boy, one of Adam's(Phillips) best friends. The boys all dessed up going to the school dance
totally embarrassed by our picture taking at your home, none the less allowing us to be the proud parents we were and always will be. I personally will always remember how Bill was there in Adam's time of need. Bill touched many lives in his short lifetime and I'm sure will continue to do so from his place of rest.
