Billy, I love you like a brother. From only knowing you for 4-5 years, I have always known you as a cool, good friend. I loved jonesen with you; looking at your brothers funny videos and hanging out, being silly in general together and trying to teach ur minions how to fish lol. I will miss you and I always remember you. I wish i had a picture of us, but i don't. I know you have a wonderful family and a great group of friends, some of which you've introduced to me. You'll forever be in my heart. Love you bro
