Peter & Caroline, So sorry to hear of Billy John's passing. I couldn't believe it when I heard the news and still can't. He was a great friend and neighbor for the many years I lived in Mahanoy City. He would give you the shirt off his back if need be. Always talked about the Miami Dolphins when I saw him. Great Guy and devoted man of God.
God Bless and my deepest sympathies
How you can show support
