Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry for your loss, I have a brother who races at Williams Grove and my father owns a racecar that runs at the Grove also. I know 1st hand the dangers of racing, but they do what they love to do, and Billy was doing what he loved to do! I am sending all my prayers out to you and your family! May God be with you all.

Dear Kimmel Family,

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Billy. I babysat for both boys when you all lived in Mt. Allen. The boys were always so sweet and kind. I know he will be missed greatly. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

Bob & Jean- We actually just met Billy this past fathers day. He was at our home for a bbq-what a sweet young man you raised. It's hard for us to watch Nathan and Jenn hurt like they are from this loss. I don't think Nathan really considered Billy as a friend- he was family. I'm sure you are very proud of Billy- he had a dream and went for it-he wanted to race. I really respect him for that. We all dream, but very few of us have the guts to make them happen.

Julie, We both...

To the Kimmel Family,
My condolences to you at this difficult time. God has opened his arms and took Billy and is caring for him until one day you will be with him again. God Bless you.

Jean, Bob and Bobby,
Please know how much you are in our thoughts and prayers. You know how much Billy (and Bobby) meant to me while Judd was in school with them. My heart just aches for you. There just are no words to say. May the love and comfort of your family and friends help you through each day.

I went to HS school with Bob. I was very saddened to hear the news about Bill. I am keeping you in my thoughts during this difficult time. My deepest sympathy goes out to Mr. & Mrs. Kimmel, Bob & Julie.

Our deepest sympathies in your loss. We loved watching Billy race and will miss him on the track! I went to school with Bob and didn't know him or Billy well, but my racing family is greatly sorry for the loss!

In Memory and in celebration of someone who made this world a brighter and better place.
Bill was a class mate and friend of my son Mike Kennedy. I got to know Bill through Him. Bill would always talk to me and my husband when we saw him out and about. Bill was aways a great guy. We too are having a hard time with his death.
But Through the Peace of God and the love of Family and Friends we will all be carried through this rough time.
The Kennedy's send our Sympathy to everyone...

To the Kimmel family,
We want to send our deepest condolences on the lost of a wonderful racecar driver. But remember god will allow him to race high above and the next time u hear lighting that is just him starting up his engine and racing in the heavens. May god bless u and ur family in the time of sorrow.
