Everyone who knew dad as bill,billy by trade he was a hard worker and at one point in his life had his own business in painting&decorating.in his younger days dad played in bands  in social clubs he was really good guitarist and his life and love of music was a big part of his life. Also another part of his life was his love of the villa he went down to the games in the 1970's 80's and maybe even years before that . Dad was married to my mother on September 6th 1980 after having two children me and mark but also took on my brothers from a pervious marriage David Paul and Andrew. He was the best dad ever a little to strict at times tho .....later in his life he suffered from a mental illness which took away his life and ours to the great person he was which was very sad he like a good old drink too much but mostly at the end of it all he was a great role model to each and everyone of us kids he was honest down to earth bloke that made many friends along the way. The love and respect I hold for him is behond words really.........x
