To Uncle Billy's Family:
My condolences for your loss. Your father/grandfather was "Uncle Billy" to me. I am the son of John Farrell Ormsby, whose father was John G. Ormsby, Billy's dad's (William Sr.) brother. I last saw your dad at our family home in Westwood about five years ago at Thanksgiving. As usual, he displayed his legendary conversation skills, wit and charm. He was kind of enough to present my brother Gregory and me with a framed print of your grandfather/great-grandfather, William Sr., in a team photo with the Brown University football team from the 1916 Rose Bowl. The print is proudly displayed in both my brother and my house. I wish you all the best in the coming days.
