To Karen and family, My deepest sympathy to all of you. Billy was a great guy with alot of heart and sense of humor. I haven,t seen him in alot of years although we did talk on the phone. A member of my band wrote a song called "TAKE THE TIME". I wish i had done that. He thought the world of all of you. We will all miss him. I always called him "MY FINN". God always takes the best.
