Read MoreBilly, may you rest in peace. Now it is 4 years since you left us. We did so many things together, traveled, hunting, fishing, eating, drinking, investing, and raising hell. Miss your companionship and friendship. We were lifelong friends, and never, ever had a bad word between us. It was an amazing friendship; and you were an amazing friend. Miss you Bud, Jim

Everytime I hear the phrase "LOVE MANY,TRUST FEW; ALWAYS PADDLE YOUR OWN CANOE", I always think of Billy. It's how I remember him. That phrase pretty well sums up who he was. Three years you have been gone from us, and we still miss you, and often think about you. RIP in peace my dear, lifelong friend.

My sincere condolences to Jackie, Joel, Mark, Tracy, Diane, and the Braun Family. Tuesday, November 14, 2017 marked the end of an era in Fruitport, because they lost a lifelong, one-of-a-kind resident. Bill was truly a self-made man and entrepreneur. He created and operated many successful business enterprises. As far as I know, the only paycheck he ever drew in his lifetime was during his service to his Country in the US Army. Bill was a man-of-his-word. It was his bond. You could do...
