To the Stickley Family; It has been quite a few years since I have seen Billy, but I can still remember the times at the "Ole Strasburg HS". We were in the same graduating class, played football and baseball together. Billy was the kind of person that once you knew him, you would never forget him. I could tell a lot of old stories about our High school days, but time and space won't allow it. Maybe another time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God
Bless.
