Billy was a pal and trusted friend at St. Norbies and at GBN. He was "too cool for the room" without acting like it. He will be missed. RIP Billy.

The Meyer family was an integral part of the wonderful, supportive neighborhood we were lucky enough to grow up in. I have vivid, loving memories of the Meyers. In particular, Billy was a BMOC to us younger neighborhood boys growing up; yet he treated us with warmth and respect.
