I knew Billy well for only 4 or 5 years in Indiana but it was always a good time hanging with him. He was fun loving and care free, but he was always running against the wind. And he did for a lifetime ...and then like his father he found the Bible. He no longer lives in Texas, Indiana, or Alabama...but is in our forever home above. RIP brother-in-law

Billy was a good cousin, our youth may have been "full of foolish noise", but we had a good time when everyone was living in Indiana. Rest in peace cousin Billy. My Dad would always say,Time waits for no one. The days are fading, dont forget your cousins and your loved ones. " Gods finger touch'd him, and he slept "...

In loving memory of my brother, Bill. Although you had a few difficult years, through it all you found the Lord. I am so grateful, and know that you are now in his loving arms. Memories of growing up in our little house in Indiana will always remain in my heart. RIP Brother.
Your little Sis, Karen
