I’m Billy’s half sister but we never thought it was anything but “full” sister. I’m still grieving and have lost myself since he passed. The sorrow hits me sometimes in the middle of the night. I appreciate all the support everyone of you have given. I don’t know how to get over what happened (suicide) , but am trying to get through the pain of his loss through making me a better person from whoever I meet.

My condolences to family and loved ones as you mourn this tragic loss. Billy was my student in 2011. He was a wonderfully kind young man with an adventurous spirit and love of nature. He left a lasting impression on me and his classmates-he well liked by us all. He will be missed. Rest in peace Billy.

Billy will be missed. I got to know him when he was in high school and really enjoyed talking to him. He was so talented with his carving and his enjoyment of the outdoors. I hope he has finally found peace.

Billy was a frequent visitor to the Wausaukee library where I worked the past couple of years. He was always cheerful and I enjoyed talking with him. He shared his knowledge of gardening and even gave us packets of seeds that we were able to share with other patrons. He was such a joy to know. My sincere condolences to all his family.

Your heart has been broken in the most painful way. Knowing Bill made all of our lives richer and we can think back to the times when he was happy and so full of energy and ideas. Stay strong and remember that you're close in our hearts. We're so sorry you're going through this.
