Not sure what to say?

I will always miss you, you were great. I still have this envelope from the funeral uncle Billy.

Seen them twice at the Holliday Star theater in Illinois and noblesville ind.rip my brother see you in heaven.

I attended J.D. in the '60s and grew up in Cedar Hills,westside. I knew Bill, his brother Rick, Leon, and everbody else around there. Id go see the 1% at the Sugar Bowl back then, and what days those were. When y'got t'go, y'got t'go. One day, we'll all be gone. Skynyrd was good Rock n' Roll! Really is scary seeing everyone passing on. God bless Bill and his family in these tumultuous times. Sincerely, Tim Gillain.
