Marcolini Family, My heartfelt condolences are with all of you. Billy was one of the good guys, for sure, and will be greatly missed. Always a friendly smile, always joking around, lightening up the mood of whoever was around him, no matter what the situation, and no matter what was going on in his life. He and I were like the "dynamic duos" for a time... roofing houses... fixing roofs... renovating kitchens and bathrooms... even doing all sorts of odds and ends work for people... like cleaning up their yards and wallpapering and painting their walls and ceilings. You name it, we did it. We made a good team, even when we were both working for Henry Consigli. Even though Billy always loved to joke around, when it came to the work at hand, he never messed around. He knew his stuff, and he knew how to hustle. He taught me not only a lot about roofing and deer hunting, but just by being around him day in and day out I learned a lot about how NOT to take life too seriously, and the importance of keeping a sense of humor no matter what life throws at you, and no matter how hard the work gets. That's a lesson I never learned in school, and was probably the most important lesson I could have learned at that young age."Ati-Ariba" Billy. You were one-of-a-kind. I'm grateful for those times we had together. Till the next time we're up on a roof somewhere together, singin' "Up On The Roof".

Carol,Amy, Lynn and Lenny sending our heartfelt condolences to you all. We were blessed for over 30 years having your family as neighbors. Bill was a hard worker and a caring family man. We will always remember his warm smile, funny stories and love of hunting. He was the best neighbor anyone could ask for, always willing to lend a helping hand when it was needed. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Unfortunately we are in Florida and sadly will be away for Bill’s services. Rest in peace Bill.

Ya'll are in our thoughts and prayers. Billy was such a character. Our favorite story Billy told was how he had to remove a deer from town in a van. He also was so excited hunting here in Virginia with the herd of deer running over him. No matter the story, he would make you split your sides laughing at his version of it.
