My deepest condolences to Billy’s parents, wife, daughters and family!!!! I went to school with Billy since kindergarten. Billy is one of the few classmates that would go out of his way to stay in touch and even though it wasn’t often, it was always right on time. I’m going to miss him and am truly sorry for you and the class of 1995’s loss.
