Just heard of Billy's death, so sorry. God bless his family. We shared a grandfather, thru marriage, I believe. Billy, Wayne, and Bobby were a few years older than us and were always there, playing with us, chasing us with bugs, lol. And we ALWAYS agreed, Billy was the sweetest and most comforting to us. Nice to know he had a beautiful family and fulfilled life!

Wanda, it truly saddened me to hear of Billy's passing. I feel privileged to have met both of you and to be one of the nurses that cared for him. Even though I only saw you guys for a couple of weeks, it was quite apparent how much love the two of you had for one another! The memory and legacy of Billy today should be pain free, loving, comforting, and the man you remember him to be. I offer my sincerest condolences and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones.

My Father n Law ,He was more like a best friend .He was like a Father to those who didn't have one & would give you the shirt off his back .He was a VERY hard working man & he always spoke the truth weather you liked it or not. Never turning his back on anyone ! He loved Wanda & his children unconditionally ,if you messed up he wouldn't hesitate to tell you what was on his mind good or bad .I always admired the way he loved his wife they were truly best friends . He loved going to myrtle beach with the family in tow . I can't tell you how many times we would sit out back & cookout & having a cold & I mean COLD BEER " at the bottom of the cooler" hiding under his sundrop's & you wouldn't dare take his last beer ! He was very opinionated & always speaking his mind .Never complaining and always in a good mood. He spoiled his Grandchildren ,like a good "PawPaw" would do. He was small in stature but that didn't concern him ,he thought he was 10ft tall & bullet proof! A man who took pride in Everything he did. I can only hope to be half the man he was & the respect that he had in the community ! I Know your with your brother Wayne & the rest of the family that we lost through out the years. We'll miss you more than you can imagine. So when I have a cold beer I will always think of all the good times we had ! He would definitely want us to CELEBRATE HIS LIFE ! SO CHEERS BILLY THIS BUD'S FOR YOU ! LOVE YA MAN ! BUBBA !

My Uncle Billy will be missed. I know I will miss chatting with you around town at Cashions during the week and all the boat rides on the lake and having an adult beverage with you. Thank you Billy Bad... Braddock for all the funny memories and the good times we had around the fire back in my earlier years! You always knew how to have fun and enjoy life. We all can learn from you. I will eat a biscuit for you!
