I'll miss you Billy, I'm sad I didn't get to know you as well as many others, but what I knew was enough to know the kind of person you'd been your entire life.
I had no idea about the Naval part of your life, a part which is appreciated beyond measure. The man I know shared few words, but what he shared was a wave and a smile every morning, and those meant the world to some of us.
I also got to learn about his love of chocolate, something he rarely went without.
Billy, I'm going to miss you. And words just can't describe how much.
