Billy, Billy what can I say about you leaving us so soon? You were my friend, my confidant and so much more. There was always a place for you In my heart because you kept us laughing. I just asked about you recently. Remember when you left your shoes under your desk so the people thought you were in the building, but you were long gone? My prayers go out to your family and I will never forget you as long as I live. I wish I could have met you one more time....
