Was sad to hear of the passing of Bill ( Killer) to those who worked with him...I was one of the privalaged ones who had the opportunity .He always had stories and that West Virginny draw made it easy to listen! We had allot of laughs on the job and allot of the stemmed from around Bill. He was a hard worker and made working hard fun. He taught me allot and I respected his wisdom. When he was was working he would sing a few bars of his favorite song " Put another log on the fire dear" those were great times at Western ...RIP my friend ! My prayers and Blessings to his family may his soul Rest In Peace!

Iv been blessed to meet a diverse group of characters---especially at WECO...
Some made LASTING impressions..
Billy Cain ranked near the top....
I'll remember him as a purveyor of great stories--- his Fred Sanford pick-up trucks--that 'Pop-Eye The Sailor' Pipe-- with a perpetual smile that lit up the room..
Thank you for your service to our GREAT Nation. 'Fair winds and smooth sea's'..
The world's a little sadder tonight..
I know I am!
RIP "KIller"..
Tears and Prayer's from FLA..
