I am only one year older than Billy.I didn't know him very well, but I know he was a good person. He went to the same schools I did and was only a grade behind me. He knew me through my sister though. I am so sorry for your loss, and I hope you will all remember the good things about him. I know the thing that stood out about him when we were younger is that he was very funny and easy to be around. He will be missed by many. I will keep your family in my prayers.

January 26, 2010

Billy, you were a great person. Miss you so much.
