I'm at a loss for words. Condolences to the family. I've always looked up to him ever since he was our apprentice rep back in 1980. He always had a huge grin, especially when he was "teaching us how to take a punch".
RIP bro !

Will miss you Bro!!! And will never forget that hot summer in downtown Fort Lauderdale @ the building that looks like a Lego set structure (1985ish). Sawing, drilling, chipping and channeling concrete to install the sidewalk/planter recessed lighting that was left out of the (concrete) pour. To dirty to go to lunch with the rest of the bros, we kept our hardhats on our heads, “ate off the break truck” and set on the walls we were tearing into and whistled at all the ladies that passed by (just for fun)!!! You told me we would always remember those days every time we drove down 3rd Ave. past our wall. And I do.
R.I.P. Billy…
