Bill and Sylvia. I was heartbroken when I heard of Billy. Your family was so close to mine. In our many family get togethers, I saw Billy as a young man that had a special quite strength about him. And it carried him through his military service. I as a believer in Christ wonders very much, why the lord would take a man such as Billy, when he preserves a guttersnipe like me, only the Lord knows. I do not know why, but i do know Billy is there with the Lord Jesus and in the Kingdom Billy will be wearing the crown of life. Amen to you Bill, and Syliva. Love you. Mike

I just found out about this December 29th, my heart breaks. I remember I spent hour after hour with Billy, Jeremy and Josh playing ball in the front of our houses in Juneau, memories of them that will live with me forever. I remember writing a recommendation letter Senator Ted Stevens recommending Billy for any military academy he would apply for. My heart breaks for this family and this country lost a beautiful person.

John and I and family send our love and prayers your way. Billy is now truly in Gods army ready for the battle when God calls. God is ready to lead His people into battle for the final battle and we truly believe Billy will be used to help lead that battle as he did so many times here below. Know Billy is first in line to do God's work. What a day that will be when we all are together again. Bless you all and Gods peace for you all.
