    We are so sorry to learn of the passing of "Billy" as we knew him from our memorable days at Holy Name High on Illinois Street. There are many thoughts that come to mind at this time. Our wish for the Flynn family is that you have the strength and courage to go on with the memories of the time you had together. We remember Billy as a fun loving "character" and enjoyed the years we spent together at HNHS. Go Naps! Sincerely, Joe & Suzanne Laperle
