I did not know Billy passed. My condolences to his family. I met Billy in the first grade, Harrington School. We were friends from 1st grade through high school then all of us who hung out at Countryside for years went our separate ways. We made great memories when we were young. Some good others not so good....but always friends. Till we meet again my old friend....

Bill was such a good guy. I knew him best from Lexington, when we would hang out at Countryside. I will never forget him. I know he has gone to a good place, and I will always pray for him.
