William Wright "Billy" Espy

Shirley, (Lee) I am sorry that your husband has passed away a few years ago. I hope your years together were good ones. It looks like you have a couple of good sons. I remember you from our days at NWMSU and also from our homes near each other off of Route V but had lost track of you. I hope you will have many blesssings in your life. Sincerely, Marge (Maxwell) Cargo

Mrs. Espy my heart and prayers are with you and your family. Love each of you

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Billy was a fine person and will be missed.

I'm sad to see Billy has died. We were friends during our college years - when we partied together, he dated 2 of my good friends, and was a good step-brother to my friend Eileen. When I transferred to Chapel Hill, he nicely set me up with several of his friends. I'll remember the fun times and a good guy. Julie Howard

Our condolences. Ed & Frances Johns

I worked alongside Billy for 17 years. I was sad to learn of his passing and may he Rest In Peace. May our loving God give peace and comfort to his family and many friends who mourn him during this difficult time.

We are so saddened by the loss of Billy. Having known him for over 3 decades, I was always impressed with his business acumen, accompanied by his philanthropic ventures. Karen and I were honored to have Billy & Lee attend our wedding on 10-10-10. His involvement in Athletes for a Better World served to educate others (including us) in this worthwhile venture, and we have seen incredible talent flourish through our donations. Billy’s legacy will continue through his family and friends, and...

Billy was such a great friend. I loved him and am truly going to miss him. He was so interested in saving America through attempting to get the right kind of politicians elected. He was so proud of his family and how well his twin sons are doing. Billy was also proud of the progress his church was making. May God bless his soul and comfort his family during this time of sadness.
