My thoughts are with the family. I am so sorry to see the passing of Billy. I have viewed this many times and it just does not seem real. I worked with Billy at Rappahannock Concrete. He was my teacher there. I learned so much from him, things I use now every day in mechanic work. When I was just a teenager I used to hang around down at his dads station and I was drawn to his kindness and witt. He will surely be missed.

Jane - I can't imagine what you are going through - thinking of you a lot and wishing things were different. It doesn't seem right to go to a viewing to see Billy Haynes when he should be sitting in his back yard with a bushel of crabs and a motor torn a part! Remembering the happier times and wishing you peace! Cindy (with my bar of soap)
