Billy Helton

Dad,
I honor your service to our country in the cause of Liberty. I can not imagine how my contribution could come close to what you did.

Love and Respect,
Clint

p.s. I so wished that you could have been here to see the Rangers play in their first World Series. I know that you would have been thrilled!

Hey, Daddy! Today would have been your 77th Birthday! Tomorrow is thanksgiving and I am going to make some deviled eggs in honor of you, I do it every year, wishing you were still here to eat some. I don't enjoy the holidays anymore, but I'm trying to keep my head up and go on with it. Mom is real upset about her sister being on her death bed. I wish I could get her up there to see her before she goes. She misses you so very much!! We all do!!! Happy Birthday and Happy Thanksgiving,...

My husband started working with Bill in 1962 and when I first met Christine, she came over pulling Donna in a little wagon. We became instant friends and remained friends all these years. We baby sat each others kids, went on vacations together. and had many good times. Bill could fix anything, he kept our cars, washers, driers, and you name it going. Both of our families moved several times through jobs, but we always managed to visit each other through the years. Bill could help with...

Iam so sorry to hear of the lost of your father and beloved husband. I know of Billy Helton through his daughter Anita. He was a very caring loving and giving man. He had a heart of gold. My prayers are with all of you.

Billy Ray Helton was my father-in-law. He was a man of few words but his eyes reflected his sensitive heart. He seemed like a gentle giant of a man with an undergirding strength that seemed to uphold others, which transcended words.

My husband and I went through a very trying couple of years of unemployment that nearly outdid us. One Thanksgiving during that trying time we popped by to visit at Grandma and Grandpa Helton's with our 3 boys. His eyes lit up when he saw his...

I am a childhood friend of Teresa's. My twin sister, Karen, just learned about the loss of your father/husband and shared the sad news with me. It is so hard to imagine your family without the presence of your father. I will never forget your father, even though it has been at least 35 or 40 years since I last remember seeing him. My hope for your family is that your sadness will be replaced with loving and happy memories of Mr. Helton.

I would like to express my deepest sympathies to Christine and the entire Helton family in their time of sorrow. As a childhood friend of Terry (Teresa), I remember Mr. Helton as a quiet, stoic family man. He was a good and loving Dad. You will carry him in your heart always.

My grandpa was a serious strong man. I never saw him loose his cool or blow his top. He had a poker face on at all times. He seemed like the type to kill you with silence. I remeber when he and my dad built me and my friends a quarter pipe skateboard ramp. I don't think he liked seing it much after while. It was quite the eye soar sticking out like a soar thumb in a good neiborhood, but he let us skate on it untill we lost interest. I remember him being able to tell what was wrong with...
