Lisa and Family,

I'm so sorry to hear about Billy's passing. Stay strong and always remember the great times. He was a true gentlemen and a fun person to be around. It was always a good time playing golf with Billy, and having him as a partner. More importantly were the beverages and laughs that followed all those rounds at Silver Creek. All of our best to you.
