Liz,
You know that I love you and you have my most heart-felt sympathy. I remember when you introduced Bill to us(WJCL/WTGS gang)and then he "popped" the question. LOL!
Liz, you have always brought joy to any situation and I understand the reason why God put you and Bill together.You made me believe that "fairy tales" come true. I pray that God continues to sustain you. As I told you before, God is too wise to make a mistake and too just to do any wrong. "Accept what God allows" and continue to stay strong as Bill would want you to do.

Dear Liz, Billy was so special to all of us at Stingray's. His stories, jokes, appetite for life, and the gift of never meeting a stranger will never be forgotten. You and his precious girls were the light of his life- we will miss him and will keep him in our hearts with all the many happy and funny memories. All our love, the Ray's, Donna, Ruby and the whole Sting Crew that new him.

Liz, I am so sorry for your loss. Billy was one of those kind of people that whether you knew him a little while or forever, you'd never forget him.
He could tell a story better than anyone I knew and once he started telling his stories, they'd go on and on. In all the years I worked for Billy I never heard the same story twice. He'd come sit in my office, in the easy chair across the room and some days he'd talk for hours about his life experiences, his daughter's, weekends with friends/family and how much his life changed when he found you.
He'd play Jimmy Buffet on his stereo in his office and tell me which songs reminded him of his daughter's and why.
I have worked for Billy since he moved to Savannah and opened Window World and things will never be the same around our office. No, he wasnt the easiest person to work for at times, he had a temper for sure and he didnt bite his tongue about anything but beneath that tough shell he wore at the office he was a man who loved his family, loved his wife dearly and truly cared about the people who worked for him. He fought a hard fight with this cancer and he wanted more than anything to beat it, we all prayed he would but God needed him more than we did.
I'm sure he's up in Heaven telling one of his many stories now.
He will be greatly missed.
