My sincerest condolences to Billy's family and loved ones. My wife and I were blessed to have made Billy and Juanita's acquaintance while serving together in Fort Worth, TX. I've always gone to sleep each night knowing that Billy had lifted us recruiters up in prayer everyday. He stood the watch both militarily and spiritually. Now its our turn to demonstrate our integrity. May his legacy live on in our hearts and our ways.

NCCS Taylor was at one time my Navy zone supervisor and he was the best one I had ever had. He knew each person individually and cared about both our personal life and our career he was a fair person, a kind person and I will miss him dearly. He taught me alot about human nature and people.I will say a prayer for his family, he always spoke so highly of his family I know he loved them dearly and I just want them to know that he spoke about them when he was away from them.

Billy
was a great friend and shipmate. He participated in my retirement here
in Idaho coming all the way from Florida 3 years ago. We loved him and
will miss him very much. He inspired all who knew him with his great
faith and love. Our condolences to his family.

My wife Harriette returned from the funeral and said, "You have to read this." I didn't know Billy, but Eric's poem caused me to call my own son, and the description of Billy's life caused me to consider my own life and to think of ways I could do more for others. I never met Billy, but just two pieces of paper commemorating his life have affected me. I wish I had known him.

Jaunita and Eric,
I was so sorry to hear of Billy's death. I will miss his long talks on the phone about our childhood.
God must have had other plans for him. Let us try to see him in Heaven.

I offer my sincere condolences to Mrs. Taylor and family. Billy was extremely supportive and encouraging to me when I was at NORU and through my retirement process. I was honored that he spoke at my ceremony and extremely grateful for all the advice and counsel that he provided me on transitioning to civilian life. I will miss him.

Jaunita and Eric:
We were so sorry to learn of Billy's sudden death. Sometimes it seems the Lord calls early for those most prepared to go. Keep the faith that will put you together again! We count it a blessing to have been associated with Billy (and you) at church and in our home. Eric, we trust that you will continue to follow the wonderful example that your father has set for you. He was indeed a great Christian.

Dear Juanita and Eric,
There is such sorrow in my heart for your loss. Billy had the grace of God upon him. One could see the sincerity, love and kindness that radiated from the depths of his soul. So many hours he spent giving so much of his time to others. Thank you for sharing him with us. He helped pray and laugh with us on so many occasions and became known as Uncle Billy to our children. I feel it an honor to call him my friend. May God's loving arms comfort you during this time of sadness and homegoing.
With much love,
Tracie Bitz
