Not sure what to say?

I was privileged to bring together Billy O'Dell with Johnny Buzzard and Tommy John for dinner at Steven W's before a Newberry golf tournament fundraiser years ago. It was a special night with these three special people. What a true Southern gentlemen was Billy. Hey has now rejoined his good friend Johnny. Billy blessed us with his time on this earth. Condolences to his family...

What a great baseball pitcher and friend of The Citadel. I worked out with Billy in Charleston in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He helped The Citadel win its first baseball Southern Conference Championship. Mr. O'Dell worked out with our pitchers and helped coach us in the preseason. Just a wonderful guy. He will be missed.
