Sara I am so sad about Billy. Bobby enjoyed him so much—- the “lunch bunch” on Friday was a source of happiness for Bobby —-and Billy was an important friend to him. I will be indebted to Billy forever because he found Chance for us—- the dog who became Bobby’s companion. When I think of Billy, I just smile—- as I see his smile in my mind’s eye.

To Sarah and Family: I wish to extend my deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband, children's parent and grandchildren's loss of a grandparent. Billy was loved by the entire South Pointe Breeze Community. Passing by your home while walking Princess will never be the same. Billy loved dogs and always took time out of his busy day to love on them. He could be washing his car and would turn off the hose to pet the dogs. He always had time to talk. It will take a long time to get over the shock of hearing of his passing. As a community, we are here for you. Don't hesitate to call on us! Sincerely and in Sympathy, Dolly Booker and Princess

Although we have never met, Saralee, my heart goes out to you and your entire family. Billy was "A One of a Kind" friend to all those (as they say who were lucky enough to know him). And my family and I were one of the lucky ones. He used to come over our house and my Dad and Mother were always delighted to see him as if he were one of the family. He came with a smile and a willingness to help out wherever he could. We ALL loved Billy! I cannot tell you how shocked and saddened I am to hear of his passing. He will forever be like our long lost brother! His friendship was a treasure and his kindness and thoughtfulness will be in our hearts forever. Our deepest sympathy to all of you for your tremendous loss. Joyce (Arnoff), Judy(Wolff) and Nancy(Hittman) The Ziskind Family

I am devastated that Bill is gone. Bill was such an advantage with his knowledge of the Pennsylvania Constable system, and he will be missed. Bill was my friend for years and he was one of the most laid-back, congenial persons I was privileged to call my friend.

When we think of Pittsburgh, we think of Billy...( Our Mayor of Pittsburgh). He was always our first contact when going back home to visit. We have known Billy for over 70 years as a friend, school mate, golfing buddy, confidant, army pal, etc. We will miss him but remember him always, with his good looks, smile, and great golf swing. Sending love to all his family. Every year for the past 40 years we called each other on our birthdays. And I value our many years of friendship.
