I love and miss you daddy. I wear your shirt to bed every night. I think it still smells like you. I´ve never felt so lost as I do right now. Sending you hugs and kisses to heaven from your grandkids and of course myself

Billy, you are one of my favorite childhood memories. We lived next door to you on North 2nd street growing up. Jerry Marsha and Mary are all down here in Alabama now. Candice is still in Seattle. We loved your mom, Shirley and Carol and we most certainly loved you. We lost mom last year at the age of 93. Rest in peace our dear friend and give mom a hug for us if you run into her.
