I was visiting with my 3 year old at the time and I saw her frowning and chewing on something. I asked what it was my Uncle Billy replied "it's a dog biscuit "
I was so mad he laughed and said " hell it was good enough for you"
Uncle Billy gotta love him I will miss that laugh so much
Much love and peace Sabrina and Breonna

My deepest sympathy to you on the passing of "B" boy my friend and classmate. Billy, you are true inspiration for how you handled your ailment. On my visits you were always positive, upbeat and jovial. You are at peace may God bless and keep you. Like your grandchild said, I too will remember your laughter and smile!
