My nephew BILLY was a beautiful
child, and a wonderful man.
I will miss him, but can only
imagine his joy on entering
Heaven´s gates.
Love to Jennifer and Billy´s
father, my dear friend Bill

Your family is in my prayers, today and always. Billy was such a kind hearted man. I always loved how happy he was when picking up his fur kids from our boarding kennel. Sending you lots of love, peace and comfort

So sorry to hear about Billy. Billy was one of the first students to work in my lab when I started at Wright State in 1994. It was wonderful to see his joy in science expand when he presented a poster on his work at the 1997 International Meeting on C. elegans.
