Billy was a wonderful 16 year old kid. He enjoyed life to the fullest and always had this infectious smile on his face. He loved people and he loved sports, especially baseball. He played on the varsity team in high school and wore number 27. After he died, the Little League where Billy played growing up had patches made up with his number for the older boys in the league to wear, in his memory. When the younger kids saw them, they all wanted one. So now everyone in the league is wearing his number as a tribute to him. He was very popular and tried to be friends with everyone. He loved playing with kids, especially his cousins and even worked as a camp counselor during the summer. He caddied on weekends because he loved to be around golf, especially when he wasn’t playing baseball or hockey. Billy was very competitive, and was always trying to prove that he was the best at everything he did (which, of course, was not always the case). The baseball league and the hockey league have both named trophies in his honor.
The sports patches were added to this quilt to represent the sports he loved so much. The five hearts represent us, his parents and his three brothers. The angel represents the brother waiting for him in heaven and the butterflies represent the beautiful free spirit he has become.
Not a day goes by without a tear being shed. We miss you each and everyday and we love you Billy.
Love,
Mom, Dad, Jimmy, Joey and Robert
