  1. To Billy, You were such a great soul who i was so lucky to have so many memories of. You were always kind and compassionate and a really true friend. We are devastated about your loss but knowing that you are flyin high above looking over Liam and protecting him. Saying goodbye is very difficult but we will always hold near the great person you are and the great times that were shared. Sending strength to your whole family. With love , Gina xoxo

  5. Billy, really knew you more when you were young, met your Mom and Dad in the mid 70s, playing hockey on the ponds. One time we went out in Port Jeff harbor, small, full boat. A much bigger boat passed and the wake flipped our little boat, and we were holding you up under the flipped boat, scary time, but ended well. Often Roy and I would take you and your brother, “little” Roy crabbing, when nursing our hangovers, you boys loved it. When we would go camping on Memorial Day weekend, you and our son Dennis would explore the area and play together. You were a great kid and a joy to have around. May God watch over you and keep Liam safe and healthy. You will be missed.

  9. My favorite memory is of when I haven’t seen you in a while. We finally got together and the first thing you said to me was “i want you to see a picture of my son Liam” and pulled his cell phone out with a huge, proud smile.
    May you be at peace and watch over your family always.

Thank you for those years, and thank you for being you! You will always be with us, Rest in Peace my friend, until we meet again.

  32. candleI’m so very sorry for the family’s loss. In my mind, Billy was a Kings Park legend. His vibrant personality, his love for family, friends and life in general were admirable and inspiring. I will continue to hold on to the fun memories we shared.

    Kind. I think that's the word for them. There wasn't anything they wouldn't do for us. They were wonderful and so appreciated.

    Thank you for your professionalism and compassion. The thoughtful gestures such as the food you provided after we made the arrangements and while in the limo were very much appreciated. Losing a loved one is difficult but I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands with you.

    It is difficult to imagine a 5-star experience in the funeral home services, but Branch should really get an extra star! Our situation was unusual and difficult, in many regards, but Steve made all the pieces come together so well. He is very patient and understanding and the consummate professional.

    There is not enough I can say about Branch Funeral Home the services were second to none. What they did for my father, my family and I will never forget. I would recommend Branch to anyone looking for an amazing experience during an extremely difficult time. Our sincere thanks to Paul and the rest of the Vigliante family and staff of Branch Funeral Home.
