Garry, sorry to hear of Billy Joe's passing. We all grew up around St. Rita's school and church., playing pickup baseball and football games in the school yard or anyone's back yard. You guys always had the newest top 45's records every weekend when your dad would go downtown shipping on Sat. On the bus that would go by our houses. Billie's first car, a Plymouth, black trimmed in gold with the push button gear changes on the dashboard. He'd open pop bottles with his teeth ect. Billy was quite the the kid growing up in the old hood. I could go on and on with stories about him as we where growing up. Great guy. May you rest in peace my friend. Don Ezop. Shelby Twp. Mi.
