I idolized Billy when I was growing up. He was a big inspiration in my pursuit of Martial Arts. He always made me laugh and feel good about myself and made me feel like I belonged with the guys even though I was so many years younger. He truly affected my life in a positive way.
I'm so sorry he's gone too soon.
