You don't know me, but I work at Glen Rest and have known your dad for some time. I was off over the holidays and didn't know that Billy had died. I met Billy at a difficult time in his life, when Jo Anne passed away. It was so great to meet someone who had been married that long (to the same person!) and still loved her so much. Afterward, Billy would stop in to the office here every 6 months or so. Just to talk and sort of check in. He knew I thought of him often. I heard stories about his childhood, meeting JoAnne, about all his children, grandchildren and the other people and organizations that were important in his life. I will miss him more than I can explain. He was a lovely man and such a joy to have gotten to know. Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. God bless you and give you peace at this time of transition in your lives.

He served others without fanfare or the need for praise, openly modeling faithful determination in tangible actions of love, providing a lasting legacy for so many. His willing heart and hands made quite a difference in this world. We will miss him!
