I was in a government office in Granite Shoals Texas today and saw one of Billy's famous signature works. I told the government official I had one as well as my good friend Dennis Hill having one. I decided to look him up and see what he is doing. Looks like Billy's welding on those gates in Heaven. Never met him but I know he was some kind of special guy.

Thank you for making me the happiest seven year old kid in the whole world by buying me my first BB gun. I think of you often and I will miss my favorite uncle.

To the Family of Billy Bull,
Our most sincere condolences for your loss. Many years ago I had the pleasure of attending his welding school and then working with him for a short while. To this day, I still apply a lot of the things Billy taught me.

Terry,
I'm really sorry to hear of your loss of your dad. At 90, he lived a long good life, and between you and your brother, James, left a huge legacy.
