William 'Billy' Walsh (3 Jan 1966 - 18 Jul 2019)

I am finding it difficult to say what I feel mate. To feel guilty about your life would be hypocritical of me. I could and should have done more, which I think will be how a lot of people feel. We all choose our life’s path as best we can and some people get all the breaks and others just don’t. The bond between us when we were kids was so strong and later you became someone I just didn’t know and didn’t want to know. I wanted to shut that person out of my life and pretend I didn’t know them. I hope that you are at peace now because you truly deserve to be. Your passing has made me really think about my life and I sincerely hope that I can be a better person.

I will love you and remember you until we are together again.

God bless you my Son

Well billy I am here again at the coroners office still doesn’t seem real . Hoping I get some answers on what happened that night . Love you bill always x

Dear Billy where do I start we started playing football together on the Rennie at around 7 years old.you where a great friend to me.i remember I think you broke your leg playing once and you were angry you couldn't play for a while.a great player on the wing .we also played together for a Sunday team ran by John shilling called az67 which we did well with until we got banned from the league as we had some tough boys in that team.i lost contact with you until I saw you down the blue and I could see life had not been good to you that broke my heart mate I bought you a dinner and a hot drink.we sat for a few hours and you opened your heart up to me .we had some tears and I got why you where struggling.i understood where you were coming from .I don't know what happened after we meet you had my number but sadly I didn't hear from you again.till I read this page.billy boy I know you're up there paying on the wing . please keep a place in the team for me when I arrive.for one friend to another rest easy bill no more pain no more suffering love you mate rest in peace I have you in my heart and soul forever sorry I couldn't make it to your service as I've only just found out the day after your funeral xxxxxxc

well Billy the day has finally arrived ....My last thing i have to do for you .It is going to be the hardest thing to do saying goodbye to my only brother. We had our ups and downs over the years Bill but you were my flesh and blood and no one can ever take that away. I did'nt agree on how you lived your life but only you knew why. I'm sorry i let you down but i just couldn't cope seeing you like that it was heartbreaking.
Love you Billy to the day i die
always in my thoughts your ever loving sis

I am sitting at home thinking about your final journey tomorrow. Your flowers are ready and sitting in my shop waiting for the morning. Funerals and death are a huge part of my life but I find the longer I do this the more I struggle to understand it. Today I looked after a 12 year old boy who lost his life and a 92 year old. Is it right or wrong to say why did the boy die and not live to 92. What did the 92 see in their life that the 12 year old will never see. The boy will always be young but that is no help to the grief for the parents.

You will never grow old in years Billy but our times and adventures as kids will last an eternity. You were loved by so many people who just did not understand you and for that I for one am truly sorry.

I hope your next adventure will be full of fun and happiness.

Sleep Easy

Uncle Bill,

Words can not describe the pain we all feel losing you at this young age.

Let celebrate your life in style tomorrow.

Love Kirsty

Bill I have fond memories of you from back in the day when we was court in ! You was my first boyfriend ❤️ We had some laughs and working in Tescos together I will never forget ! You were kind , caring , funny ! You always made me laugh ! Remember sitting up in your bedroom and you playing the jam albums to me on your turntable listing to Paul Wellers amazing voice ! So thanks to you I turned into a Paul Weller fan and loved him as much as you did ❤️ So as we grew apart and took different paths in our lives we lost touch ! Not knowing the journey you went on but hoping it was happy for you as you traveled through it ! Now hearing your journey has now come to an end I feel so sad 😞 the photo I see posted on here of you is just how I will always remember you always smiling ! Just wished I got to see you sometime as we grew just to say hi ! And now your on another journey to which I wish you a safe one ! God bless you bill you will always be in my thoughts ❤️ Ju xx

God bless you Billy...fly high ...May you find peace. Love until we all meet again ❤️

Uncle bill just can’t believe am writing this , very gutted that your life ended the way it did.I have some lovely memories Of you and we’ll always hold a place in my heart for you till we meet again R.I.P xxxx

Uncle bill, here I am writing this , what can I say except I’m gutted and heartbroken. You was truly a great uncle to me! I have many ... so many memories of you as a child, teenager and adult that I will cherish- but unfortunately I never had the chance to have the last couple of years with you. I hope and pray that you are in a better place now . When I think of you I think of the times when you was a great dad & great husband , when you would come up mine for takeaways , the times when I would laugh because you would walk absolutely everywhere with Sam and kids I couldn’t understand why you loved walking haha ( I hate it ). You never left their side!! But something happened and something went wrong but to me you was still my uncle, still the same nutter, always had something to say to make someone laugh!!
I Refuse to say goodbye , but sleep tight uncle bill till will meet again .
Love always
Netty xXx

My Darling Billy I am heartbroken to have lost you at such a young age. Seeing your name on Albins
Web has just made it so real for me that you have passed on. I will treasure our telephone conversations so many over the years, we had some laughs. We loved each other , I shall never forget you, you will always be in my heart.
God bless you Billy, love you always and forever.
Your Aunt Ann xxxxxxxxx

RIP billy x
Remembering you from our estate Rennie we had some laughs playing run-outs 😀
Hope you are at peace now xx

Thinking of your family at this sad time as well xxx

I knew Billy when we were kids. My Family used a Social Club called the Peckham Liberal Club. Us as kids would be messing about and having fun. Truth be told as a scatty 12 year old I had a crush on Billy. He was always kind to me and no I never got a kiss!
Sleep tight Billy 💙💙

Billy no words can express how we all feel. Never did I think you would end up like this . My heart is truly broken. I loved you Billy as a brother however not as the person you become. I tried so hard to help you . You are at peace now and hope you are with mummy and daddy. Love you Billy always and forever. So sorry I let you down. Love you always your big sis Theresa xxxxxx
