    To Billy’s family,
    Bill and I send our deepest sympathies. We have so many great memories of times spent with him. He was truly was one of a kind-always smiling and always with that devilish twinkle in his eye. He will be missed. We suspect the afterlife will be much more exciting now that Billy has arrived.
