Billy was kind, loving and always ready to listen and be there for us all, he never asked for anything in return, His love and kindness were unconditional, free and full of love. He took great delight at watching the smile on our faces when he made us feel better, a true giver. He was made up of goodness, kindness, generosity and lots of LOVE, there was no room for anything else. Whenever we needed a shoulder to cry on, we could always depend on Billy. There was no problem he could not make us smile about ... a true gift of a kind and gentle soul who knew how to make us feel comforted in our darkest hour. Billy loved to joke, laugh and enjoyed catching up on all the local news, He was so proud of his town and everyone who was from Enniskillen. A true Enniskillen gentleman, we should be proud of what he represented for our community. We are all truly blessed and lucky to have shared this time with a great man, who opened his heart to all our madness, fun and troubles without judgement and showed us only love. Billy you will live on forever in our hearts, till we meet again, shine bright above us, you certainly earned your place. We will miss you ... but take comfort knowing you are looking over all of us.
