He made us laugh all the time, he was just that kind of guy. A really neat and kind person. I always wondered how he could wear shorts in the wintertime and not get cold. My husband Jeff Pappas, worked with Billy, and they were good friends. Heartfelt condolences to his family, whom I never meant.
Love to all of you, and Prayers,
Jeff and Joyce Pappas Friends.

Billy, you will forever be in my heart . You were like a father to me. You have been my brother- in - law since I was six years old. You were always telling the story of mom giving me a bath in the kitchen sick and when you walked in, I would try to cover myself up. The little gesture you would show people of me covering myself up back then will forever be one of my fondest memories of us. Please give my parents hugs and kisses from me. I know the three of you are watching over your loved ones and keeping us safe. Love you! . Spread your wings and fly high in the sky.
