Most of my memories of Billy go way back to when I was a teen, but they have stood the test of time. Such a funny, outgoing personality. My condolences to the family.

I met him in person only once, talked to him on the phone numerous times. But it was quite clear, in his hearty laugh, and delightful banter, that Bill had an enthusiasm and relish for life and good times that made him unique. His wonderfully positive nature made every encounter memorable.
