I have known Billy since 2013. Unfortunately life took me to places where I couldn’t here his passing until 2 solid years. He was indeed a good person. May he continue to live in the Lord. Blessed Billy Dove

Billy was a wonderful gentleman, and I had the real privilege of having him as my Godfather, today we finally laid his ashes, to rest, alongside his beloved mum. RIP “Uncle” Billy, you will always be missed……….

Growing up in Bethnal Green in the 1960s I remember going to Jeffery Museum. We had work sheets which were fun & allowed to explore the museum. I also enjoyed the art room. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

I have the great pleasure of meeting Billy in many occasions during my more than 10 years working in St Lawrence Jewry Church. He was really a genuine good person whose jolliness was very infectious. He would light up the room whenever he came in. He was also one of those people who showed genuine concern on me and my family. He will be sorely missed. Rest in peace Billy.

Billy was a great character. He definitely left an impression on my as a nine year old in his class in 1965! Everyone should meet a ‘Billy’ on their life’s journey! I for one will miss his updates and Christmas cards!! RIP Billy x

I think one of the most remarkable things about this man’s unique story is that he was in a mixed-race same-sex relationship for 50 years or so, during times when same-sex and mixed-race relationships were each the subject of massive discrimination and scorn. I salute both Billy and Joseph for their courage, determination and achievement. I send my condolences to Joseph and loved reading about Billy’s life and times!

What a lovely man, constantly busy and helping others. I have a friend who is 80 and exactly the same, witty, entertaining and constantly on the go in various organisations he’s involved with.
Billy’s portrait is lovely, I wonder who the artist was?
