I remember Billy well from when I was visiting my Dad at Moultrie Creek. It was a pleasure to hear stories about his background in boxing. Rest in piece Billy. It was a pleasure to have met you.

Billy was my father's roommate at Moultrie Creek Nursing Home for 2 years until my Dad passed away.
He was such a kind and sweet gentleman and was such a pleasure to be around. Always had a smile on his face and never uttered an unkind word.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Besmanoff family.

Farewell Billy
