This Poem by Kelly Roper depicts Billy to a tee:
Oh Dear, If you're reading this right now
I must have given up the ghost.
I hope you can forgive me for being
such a stiff and unwelcoming host!
Just talk amongst yourself, my friends
and share a toast or two
For I am sure you will remember well
How I Loved to drink with you.
Don't worry about mourning me
I was never easy to offend
Feel free to share a story at my expense
And we'll have a good laugh at the END.
No Funeral be held but a private celebration of life at later date.

Dear Pat, please be assured of my prayers. I am sorry for your loss. You were there for him all the way. May you find strength and comfort in your faith knowing that our Lord loved your sons who went before you even more than you do. May they rest in peace. God bless you and all of your family.
