Tina, Rita and Family--Sometimes we do not understand why things happen in life but we know that Jesus Christ has a Master plan. When I read the news last night, I sat my phone down, shut my eyes and prayed for you all because I can only imagine the pain that you are experiencing. Although I never met Billy, after reading these special memories of him, I feel like I knew him. I know that he was made of special pieces of his family--and I am thankful that I have known three of you--Billy, Rita and Tina and I have special memories with each of you. We are not promised another heart beat but in Jesus Christ, we are promised Eternal Life with Him. By God´s Amazing Grace, Little Billy and Billy are rejoicing and Praising God together in Heaven and one day soon, we will all be together again forevermore-- Thank you dear Jesus Christ. We Love You Tina and Rita. Brad Muncher and Family

Smart, strong, helpful, strong, smart, humorous.
I considered him Buffalo Air Handling “royalty”, although many long timers worked there from before Billy was even born, he caught on, and could do whatever asked of him. I have learned much from him.
Did i mention smart, strong, helpful, and prepared to use his smarts to get laughs in any situation.
I will miss him and that constant smile and good laugh!

Billy has been my best friend since I was the weird loner kid in Elementary school. We've always been weirdos together. Losing him is like losing a brother to me. Whatever happens next for you, I hope you know I'll miss you man. You were taken from us too soon.

I didn’t know Billy for very long but I feel like I knew him forever. His momma talked about him with me & you can just feel her love and pride for him. He is her world & there is no greater love than a mother & son. Sending love

Billy was absolutely the best and only grandson that I had. He loved me just like I loved him. He always had a big hug for me. When he was small he never asked for anything. I had to really get him what I thought he would like. He was so sweet. He loved living in the country and loved all animals. I love you Billy and I will see you again.
