Billy I only knew you for a short time. That's all I need to know, your allways made me feel welcome. I remember the baseball game across from Parker Ave,(1979) when Lucy's husband Bob had to go to the hospital!! But we still had a great time that day with Mr and Mrs Moreau. Mr. Moreau played his harmonica how we laugh. May God Bless you, Loraine and the family. I know Leslie and Jill where not there at the time, but I think they might like to know how their father was back in his younger days. Allway thinking of some one else. What a GREAT GUY! Everyone will miss him. Everyday when I go to work I pass your old house and I think of you. I remember the trailer that you guys lived in for a short time. That's the love that brought Leslie and Jill to you. The Lord is mine. Don't dream it's never over. My thoughts and blessings are with you allways. God Bless Joyce & Jack Harrington (Grady) I lost a brother and a son I know how it is to lose a love one,. May Mem Moreau watch over you at this time. Rest in Peace Billy.

Dear Jill and Leslie,



Your dad was a great man. He helped our family in many ways. He always helped our dad when he was sick. He helped us put in our new trailer even though it was snowing and cold out. He was like an uncle to us. He was a really great man and we will miss him very much.



God Bless and Love you both alot.
