To the Rochelo family, I had the pleasure of being a close family neighbor. I´m a few years younger than Billy but always thought Billy and Connie were the most attractive couple on Hungerford. My friends had a huge crush on him.He was a great neighbor and good friend. May he fly with the angels. Blessings to all he leaves behind.
