to everyone on p.t.net Billy Ceralli was a very close personal friend of mine he would come to visit every 4th of july for the new england summer natls. car show and we would go to the loudon nascar race . for those of you who did not have the chance to meet him personally let me tell you he was the most generous person you would ever meet he was also extremely fun to be around with some of the best stories i have ever heard . his daughter Rosie is a beautiful little girl who could make you melt with her eyes. his mom is also a wonderful person I have yet to meet his dad but im sure I will tomorrow . his automotive talent im sure came from his dad who Billy told me was one of the best engine builders there ever was his love for his daughter was unsurpassed by anything. I will always miss my very good friend as im sure you all will. BRAD K.

 

Welcome Brad, I'm sorry that you are joing our community under such terrible circumstances.

You really hit the nail on the head there. He always told me about his trips up to the Summer Nats with you, he had such good times. I'm glad that he and I were able to become friends through this forum, especially when we realized we only lived 10 minutes apart. I will miss him dearly.

At least one other member from here and I will be there tomorrow as well.

-Tom

 

Those who are going tomorrow, please give his family our condolences from all of us here @ SDPC.

 

Will do.

Hey Brad, thanks for joining and posting. Billy was like family to many of us here as he loved this place and was a big part of it over the years.

 

I don't know where to begin. But this thread is a great place to start, cause Billy was just that, a friend. A friend, but so much more. Tom & Brad, he spoke of u guys alot. Billy said Tom (tdrumm), him, & I should have an Evap party, cause my truck had same problem. He knew how it bothered me, & if I drove to NJ, he woulda been there to help. That's how he was, he'd help anyone thru knowledge or whatever.

I may post a thread of my own in the Engine section. Admin / mods can lock it after I post or let it go for the others to reply, but he was near & dear to me. It would not be to take from his Pop's thread but in conjuction w/. it. It's the least I can do for how much he helped me.

My condolenscences to his family, friends & that lovely little girl, Rosie. This site will never be the same to me. And for those lives he touched here on PT & wherever, he will be missed. R.I.P. my good friend, I love you. You were 1 of a kind.
