I worked with Billy at Fieldcrest cannon many years ago we become friends and just like many lost touch over the years. He was one of the most genuine people you could ever ask to know. He could be serious one min and then have ya crying laughing the very next! My heart goes out to his family! Billy you gonna be missed! Rest Easy Buddy!

I so wish that I had met you. You are a true friend to my friend Joey. You being a Christian really meant a lot to me as that. That is the most important thing in my life also. I feel as though I know you just from conversations with Joey you will be missed. But I know you're smiling and are in a much better place now. Rest in peace. Paula

We tend to meet people in this life that are a true blessing, that leave a lasting impression, and spread Light n Love wherever they go! You was definitely one of those!

What I admired about you the most was your thoughtfulness of others, your countless acts of kindness, your contagious smile with laughter that tended to be shared by all those around you. The Love you carried for The Father always shined...
