I have always loved Billy, how could you not? He adored his wife and kids. He had a great sense of humor and like all the Federico boys, quite the daredevil. I was stunned to learn of his death and am still praying for the whole family. I will miss you Billy. I wish I was still in California I would have gone to his memorial service. Hugs to you Shelly.

Uncle Billy, I have such fond memories as a kid having you playing around with us. You left us to soon. Watching the family - your brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews grieve and cry at your service was one of the hardest things I have ever had to watch those strong "Federico's" don't cry at least that's what they had me believe the last 35 years .. :) you brought out the best in all of us that day . Tears, laughter from something silly/crazy you did.. I'm so grateful to of been a part of your life and you will be missed! Dance in the heavens with Grandma Lil. You are now free xo

I was good freinds with Billy and his brothers when I was a teenager. I had some of the best times hanging out with Billy and messing around. I will never forget those days and him.
