The world has changed with the realization that Bill "Billy Joe" Wilson is no longer in it. He touched my own life and that of others in ways too numerous to count.

Bill you are always with me. I see you smile, hear your laughter, follow your wit. Eventually we all will sit on the cloud together.

I was lucky enough to hear some of Bill's bedtime stories when I was a small boy and to spend some time throughout my life talking with him. I will never forget this gentle man and his smile. The world is indeed more lonely and less warm now he has moved on. Sleep well... With love to all who miss him.
