I did not know of Billy, until reading this tragic news. I am sure he was a great man who represented sky high standards. His commitment to respond and to help people during extreme and dyer situations. I am greatly saddened to hear of the news and my heart goes all out to his family friends, and to his fire engine family throughout our New York City, state and country. --Fred Stepkin
