I always enjoyed the relationship I had with Billy when I was VP/Mgr. at the BofA Branch in Ukiah. Had great times at P.J.'s home when we watched the Super Bowls. He will be missed in Ukiah. May he rest in Peace.

I met Billy R. Tatum and several of his family members many years ago through my brother-in-law, Billy Deece Tatum. Billy R. Tatum was so much like his brother Abe Tatum – a perfect gentleman, so kind, so nice and such a family man. Both brothers were World War II veterans and served our country well for which we are very grateful.
May the God Lord Rest Billy R. Tatum in Eternal Peace in that Beautiful Place in Heaven.
My family and I join together in expressing our Deepest Sympathy to the entire Tatum family. You have lost a wonderful member of your family; we will miss Billy R. Tatum's presence the next time we see the family.
With love,
Sonny Koya

Goodbye, Coach, and thank you for all that you gave to each of us. Whether it was in the classroom, on the football field, in the boxing ring, or just shootin the breeze out on the quad or around town, you always tried to find a way to engage each and every person you dealt with and always encouraged us to have fun with whatever we were doing. What a guy!

Billy Tatum was a wonderful friend and joy to be around. My Mom and Dad enjoyed many a wonderful time with Berta and Bill. They had great trips together and just enjoyed life to the fullest! You will be truly missed Billy, may God hold you in the palm of his hand!

Bill was a good friend and fellow educator. He was an extremely nice and hospitable man. I always enjoyed gathering at his place for an enjoyable time. They don't make 'em like him anymore. May he rest in peace.

Bill was my 8th grade school teacher and when we graduated to high school, he came with us. He was always one of my favorite teachers. When even the class did not want to take a test or do any work in the classroom, all we had to do was have Bill start singing Old Man River.
He will be missed...
