Debbie & I have always felt blessed by the time we spent with Santa Billy. We know that because of his big heart all who trained under Billy are better Santa's. God put each of us in Billy's care so that children would be touched with the miracle of wonder. I pray that his family & friends open to God's grace at their time of loss. Love & Prayers!

Sending prayers to all. I met Mr. Billy the first time at Molly's and Jason's wedding. I know how important he was to them and Connor. May peace be with you.

When I worked for IBM in Colorado Springs had the pleasure of hiring Billy each year for our Children's Xmas party to play Santa Claus, the kids loved him specially his beard. Such a gentle soul, brought joy to so many. Remembering him fondly. Rest In Peace. Sympathy & Prayers to his family

May every smile, belly laugh and that Santa eye twinkle comfort his friends and family during this time of sorrow. Billy truly stayed in Santa Claus character 365 days of the year. I am blessed to have known this magical man. Rest in Peace, Billy. You will be missed by everyone you have touched through your 80 yrs.
