To the entire Affleck family,

I was deeply saddened when I heard the news about Billy. All the memories of "the good old days" came flooding back and I do smile when I think of the good times we all had. I can picture all of us hanging up at Arnold's Park, hiding the beers in the barrel, all the guys "sleeping over" at the park on Friday and Saturday nights, playing frisbee, football, hanging in The Depot to get away from the rain, snow and cold, Owens' News, hanging in the cemetary, hiding from the cops.... there are alot of good memories he shared with everyone so keep all the happy times with you and know he is not in anymore pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time.

Fondly,
Joyce (McQueeney) McIver
