To Billy's Family,
What a great man! My husband Stones & I will miss Billy tremendously. He was always there for us whenever we needed a car. What a sad day, there just aren't people in the world like Billy these days. I can hear his laughter as I think of him.
He will live on thru all the great memories & wonderful times that family & friends have had with him.
What a joy he was. What a great loss. Missing him dearly.
With Love Stones & Bev
