Throughout the filming of Families of the Mafia, Billy O’Toole was working on building relationships with his twins, Joseph and Taylor. He was not present for a lot of their lives, something that has been highlighted as the season has gone on.

The past couple of episodes featured Billy O’Toole attempting to repair things with Taylor. She was resistant to her father, especially when she met him with her boyfriend at a bar. Things didn’t go well, and it showcased the short fuse Billy was known for.

Joseph was getting into trouble, and Billy was trying to set him straight as well. The whole family showed up for a court date where Joe was able to get off without trouble. Despite everything that happened, the family moments were important to the father and son team.

As the year anniversary of Billy O’Toole’s passing approaches, Taylor and Joseph are likely watching and reliving some painful moments. Nothing about his service or death was filmed except for the confessionals given by Taylor, Joe, and Jess Clare.

His unexpected death shocked everyone that loved him. Life without Billy O’Toole will never be the same for them.
