My heartfelt condolences go out to all of Billy's family and friends. I had been looking for information on Billy through the last few years, as he was a great friend to me as well as a mentor back when I had the privilege of playing music with him, Frankie and Mark back in Cero's between 85-91. I got married and moved away, and I never thought to ask Billy what his last name actually was. I finally found the information I was looking for, a bit late it seems. It's a sad day in my world...

It has been almost 3 years since you passed, but I still think of you often. I listen to the wonderful music you have on your website often. It always brings a tear to my eye, as you gave myself and so many others much joy. You are sadly missed by sooooo many. Rest in peace Billy Dee...
And keep maling that good hip turn... Love you

My late husband and I used to see Billy sing every week. They are together now. I am so sorry for your loss. Everyone who ever heard him sing or played golf with him loved him.

Along with Bill and a few others I was one of "Moms Boys" welcomed into the Chadwick home in Orange while in HS at Elmo. Bill played a big part in my life. I think I learned something about how to focus on important things in life. I saw him years later when I was in-country and he was performing at a night spot in Orange. Just knowing he is no longer with us makes the world the worse for me. I am sorry I didn't keep up better with him and was not there for him in the final struggle of his...
