Billy and Kathy were in Florida for a mini-reunion with other Class of 1962 friends Mike Clair, John Valenti, John 'Bingo' Korothy and Jimmy Szymanski and their spouses. Billy was playing golf with Mike Clair at the time of his sudden and unexpected death. Kathy said that Billy would have been pleased to know that his last days were spent with loved ones and good friends, on his feet and having fun.I will always remember Billy as a stand out tackle on our 1961 Division Championship football team. He had a great sense of humor and was always fun to be around. He will be missed. Special note from John 'Bingo' Korothy: Billy and I have been friends since we were classmates in the third grade, 55 years ago. Time and distance have, sometimes, kept us apart. We have never been without each others friendship; good times and bad. Time and distance have, once again, separated us, but when we see each other again, we'll tee it up, play some golf and continue our never-ending friendship for each other. He was, and is, my friend for life.
Submitted with Sincere Sympathy for Kathleen Posey Poma and Family by some of Billy's many friends
