Billy was a year ahead of me at BSM high school.
He was a standout football player and I remember thinking he could break me in half like a twig. He wasn´t a bully, however, and became a friend to everyone that knew him. He will be sadly missed by all of us. Sending our deepest sympathy To your families during this difficult time.
