We at DHHS class of 1974 just had our 50th reunion on Sept 13-14.  We sure missed you Bill. You were on our minds!

It has been two months since Bill has passed but I just found this evening. I am so saddened and my heart goes out to his wife and family. I met Bill on New Years Eve in 86 or 87. We dated for a while. He was a wildman back then and always made me laugh. He was an uncomplicated guy with a good heart.  He lived on 10th St. in the Village back then and  was a long haired metal drummer.  One night at the neighborhood bar, Formerly Joe's, a girl even mistook him for Meatloaf. Ha!    I hadn't seen him in years when three years ago I ran into him and his lovely wife, Cheryl, at our mutual friend, Maureen's funeral.  It was a very sad occassion but it was so good to spend some time with them.  
God Bless you Bill. Rest in peace.

My condolences to all the family. Bill was such a great friend of my sister, Maureen and last saw him at my sister's services. 

So sad to hear of Bills passing  Such a great guy with the best laugh. Old high school friend that we will never forget. Our sympathies to his wife and family.   Hold tight to your memories..  they will help you through the toughest days.
We are so sorry.    

My deepest condolences to the family at this difficult time.. DHHS .. friend and more.. great memories!! 

Bill was a good friend to the people he knew, served his community as an NYPD officer, and was a dedicated family man. He was also the drummer in my first garage band when we were teenagers. We had just reconnected over the last year or so, and I so enjoyed talking about the good times of the past as well as current events. I will miss that connection very much. Rest in Peace my friend.....

RIP Bill Terrio, saddened to hear about Bill's passing,both Pam and I were HS classmates and friends over the years. I will remember Bill's big heart, lust for life and barrelhouse laugh!

I knew Billy my entire life living next door to the Terrio’s for over 40 years I considered them my family and Billy a brother. I will always remember the many good times we had and will think of him often. Billy was truly one of a kind and I want him to know “ I am definitely not talking with a paper ass” I will miss you brother. RIP

To all of you..my next door neighbors and lifelong friends...I am so sorry for your loss..Billy played such a big part in my childhood and beyond..I always loved listening to him play music and teaching us all of the bands we should care about..he was like a big brother..love you all..prayers to Billy and all of your family 🙏🏻
