Billy always had a kind word and a generous soul and the world is a bit darker today for his passing.

Long after I left Bryantville I could always come home to Billy Kidd's for a cheeseburger sub and a good conversation with Billy. My daughter and I even made a tradition of getting subs at Kidd's and eating them atop the rock at the Herring Run.

I have no doubt that, when I see Billy again, he will still remember exactly the way I liked my sub.

My thoughts are prayers are with all of you. Goodbye, Billy.

I am so sorry to hear of Billy's passing. He was a great man who fought a great battle. I was very sad when the business was gone, but today I am even sadder to see that he has gone. My family's thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.
