Not sure what to say?

Mr & Mrs Norton,
Sorry, I'm a bit late. Even still, I felt I should say something. I owe him that. Your son lives on in the fondest of my memories.
Billy Boy,
I guess it all started between us as you and Charlie Heisey attended Tabernacle. We had a short, youthful journey from skateboards and bikes to jam sessions in your family's garage and our standard summer group hanging out at the beach. So many memories - lifting weights in the backyard, who could play like...

Billy...as a little girl I remember you coming to our house to practice with the band you were in with my dad. I was about 9 and you were about 20. I can remember taking your drum sticks and annoying you as you would set up your equipment to practice. Spinning around in your drum stool and hiding inside of your drum set, annoying you, just to get your attention. As a little girl I had a crush on the cutest guy I thought I had ever met, adorable Billy Norton. You were such a big part of...

Bill will be remembered as a dear and caring friend. My prayers and deepest sympathy to the Bills family as well as his WOHS Family. He was loved by so many.

Mr. and Mrs. Norton , May the peace of God be with you during this time of sadness. I too rode that bus with Bill to tabernacle school and I also remember him and Grady on that bus they were just too funny. Bill will truly be missed. He was an awesome drummer. I remember him using his drum sticks to beat on the back of the bus seat.... He was so very talented. God give him peace..................

Buddy and Roberta, please know the deepest heartfelt sympathies from the Taylors are with you during this sad time. Though it has been over 20 years since Billy began his love of drumming with Fred Taylor's band, time cannot erase how much he was loved by Fred and family. What a talented drummer he was! Billy and Tony, coming to our home to practice, was always a time that brought laughter and smiles. His boyish, smiling ways made us always so glad to have him around. Occasional chance...

I was very shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of Bill. He was so talented and I remember he loved his music. He will truly be missed. May God give you strength during this time.

Like my sister Diane, I too remember Bill and Grady making that long ride to Tabernacle enjoyable. I hope to hear you jamming in Heaven one day. May God's love grant peace to your family and friends during this time.

Billy - I remember riding on the bus with you and Grady, both of you crumbling crackers into my mouth after I had fallen asleep. I enjoyed the years that you played in my dad's band. How lucky he was to have such a wonderful drummer. I remember how kind you were to me. Thank you. I am so sorry you are gone.... I pray God's comfort and grace for those who are left behind to miss you.

Bill was one of the most talented drummers I could have ever known.. Music was his soul. A true friend and as much of a brother to me that anyone could ever be..
