March 1, 2014 at 3:29 amI am indeed saddened by the passing of Billy. As young men we were indeed wild at times. There were indeed good and bad memories but nothing that the growing pains of life could not be overcome. Under that gruff exterior there was a good heart. His peace is now with the Lord. Amen
