Fondly called Billy by many who know him, Billy dedicated his life to working with young people in the Greater Portland communities including his 31 years at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Maine Portland Unit on Cumberland Avenue. Each day Billy gave his time and special talents with a genuine and sincere determination to make a positive difference in the lives of each young person he worked with. Billy loved sports both watching and coaching the kids, always encouraging them to work hard to reach their full potential. As Billy attends sporting events in the Portland area, former Club members greet him with a smile as they remember him from their times as a youth at the Boys & Girls Clubs.
