Uncle Paul & Aunt Dolly,
Junior was a wonderful person; so many people are sharing this loss with you. I would like to share this memory with you. I was a child, about 6 years old, and we were playing a baseball game at Mammy & Pappy Billig's house. Junior stood behind me to help me hit the ball. After I hit, he then picked me up and ran me to first base. I was so thrilled to be apart of this game, played by family and friends, and it was all because of Juniors help. Please find comfort in this memory and so many other memories that you have of him. Junior touched the lives of many people and will be missed. May God bless you and give you comfort in this time of sorrow.
Love,
Chris, Denise, Randy & Dean

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

We were deeply saddened when we heard of Paul Jr's passing. When Paul Jr and Paul Sr were working around our house, both were always very enjoyable to talk to and were down to earth great guys.
We wish a comfortable recovery and a healthy future for Paul Sr and his family. May the good Lord be with you at this time.

Billig Family ,
It is hard to find the right words at a time like this . But I hope the thoughts and prayers of all of those that cared for Jr can help to ease some of your sorrow . Jr was a kind and generous man who would do anything for those he loved . I feel honored to have called him my friend . Each time I hear Summer Nights I will think of Jr and how he would "complain" and say he wouldn't play that song while he was DJ man at Schoolhouse but always ended up playing it anyway for us since he knew we loved it .

Paul G. Junior Billig, Jr. Family
At a time like this, there is a sorrow for which no heart could ever be prepared....
There are no words of sympathy that truly express our sorrow we feel in Junior's passing. The blessing is that he is with our Savior and the loved ones that have passed on before.
I remember the baseball years with the NYAA program. The team you wanted to be on was Junior's and Joe Houses' team. They taught the boys so much not only the love of the game, but helping each other, making good choices, and preparing them for their future on and off the field. So many friendships between teammates, coaches, and parents started those years.
Brandon you know your Dad loved you and always wanted the best for you. Now that he is not with us cherish your precious memories of him. One day you will do something, move a certain way, or it might even be a smell, and you will say to yourself Dad you are with me. Take comfort in that feeling it happens to me all the time, your father will never leave you and someday your father will be in your children even though they had never met. It is amazing how that works!
One day when it is your time to go home your father will be waiting for you with open arms to welcome you home and if there is a baseball game in heaven I know you both will be sitting behind home plate.
Remember your mother and grandparents are there for you, they will give you the love and support you need, I know you will do the same for them.
God Bless you, Brandon and your family. If you need anything please call us. Love you, Tom, Faye, Tommy, Andrew, Aaron, Austin Foulk, Mayson Roth

I cannot express how hard my heart has dropped when I heard the news. Brandon, your father loved you so much and had such character in the way he carried himself. I will never forget all the good memories and what an amazing person he was. I am so sorry for your loss, and words cannot express what you are going through. I am always here for you if you need a shoulder to lean on.

Brandon,
I am so saddened by your great loss and I know there's no understanding this. Your father loved you so much and was such a great part of the community and so many kid's lives, including my son, Troy Muthard. He will be so missed by many, it seems so hard to believe he won't be around the corner at a game or laughing over some joke with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

At this time, with respect and great saddness may we extend our deepest sympathy to the Paul Billig Jr. family. Living here in New Tripoli for over 23 years we got to know Junior & his Dad. They had done many repairs in our home over the years and we became like an extended family. Junior was quite delightful but most of all he was a sincere man, a honest man, and truly a kind hearted person. We are so shocked & so sadden by his passing that is difficult to write the true extent of our feelings felt at this time. Junior you are going to be so missed by so many people, for there is only one you. May God keep you safe now and forever more.. Peace, Light, & Healing. Peggy Pavlacka & Ronnie Gilbert

Jr always had a good story and big smile on his face when I was around him. In fact I just saw him last week at the bar and he kept telling me he couldn't believe I was old enough to drink.Ha.. It hurts that I'm not going to run into him anymore. To the family I send my sympathy.

Junior will be missed. I do not remember when I first got to know him. If it was thru the fire company or thru softball, back in the day of playing for Signs By United. Either way I have known him a long time and always enjoyed seeing him. I remember giving him pointers on how to throw horseshoes, and seeing his face light up when he threw a ringer. I will miss seeing him as well as a lot of others. Rest in peace my friends. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and I know that god and friends will help everyone thru this. He will be alive forever in our hearts and memories.

For three years, Brandon, I have so many memories of our relationship. So many of those memories, such good times with your Dad. When I had no where else to go, your parents took me in and treated me like the daughter they never had. I loved you and your family so very much, and to hear of such a tragic loss leaves me speechless. I will always cherish my pictures, my memories, and the time I was able to spend with him. He will always be my "second Dad," and I will never forget the wonderful man he was, is, and will always be. Bran, Lori, and the rest of the family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Brandon and family, I am so sorry for your loss, in the days to come will be very difficult and people will not know what to say..just know they are there to comfort you..the only reason I know is that my son Ian died on June 3rd..I am still numb and am trying to remember all the good times but the sadness always wins ! I talked to your dad and he was very sad--But one thing I know Brandon is he was very proud and loved you so much. If it is any comfort your dad is at peace--and I hope my son and him are consoling each other--I am so sorry..
