Condolences to Joy and family. Billy will be greatly missed by many and was always our family contact for all of us in Australia. He together with Joy always made us feel welcome and part of their family when we visited Ireland. Such a lovely Uncle and I have fantastic memories of my times when I visited. Sending my love to Joy and family at this difficult time. Love Anne (Australia)

His caring nature will always be remembered as we think about all our visits to Ireland. Passing on our love and support to Joy and the rest of the family during this difficult time. Lots of love Kelly, Daniel, Kye and Kayla ( your Aussie Family) xo
So sorry Joy and Family May Billy’s gentle soul rest in peace
Thinking of the family at this sad time
To Joy and all the family,
we are so saddened by Billy’s passing.Although not in our day to day lives,the impact that he has had on our family is enormous.He was such a genuine kind and caring person and we have the fondest memories of him and his hospitality when we have visited you in Ireland. Circumstances prevent us from attending the funeral and we feel cheated that we will not be able to hear more wonderful things about him.I believe that if you leave this life and those left behind can say’ he made a positive difference while here’ you have done your job.Billy certainly did that.Gone but not forgotten.
Love to all Carole and Wayne,Australia
