Billy,
Thanks for all of the great memories. I will never forget going to the 2000 World Series game 1 with you. It's hard to believe that we were just at the raider/jet game a few weeks ago. Thanks for being such a great friend to my uncle jim and thanks for all of the great memories we've had together over the years. You will be missed my friend.

Billy,
I cannot type how I feel. Right now Anger is the main emotion. I have always told you how I felt about you and what you meant to me.
I guess god needed some answers to trivia questions. PS Please help Pete Rose get into the Hall of Fame!!!
