I have known Billy for 24 years, My oldest son was 6 months old when I met Billy and now he's 24 years old. He would always call billy BB because he couldn't pronounce his name at the age of one. You watched all my children , niece's and nephews grow up you will forever be missed RIP Billy

Proud to say ive known Billy most of my life. Growing up with him, going to St. Leos together. Played on the Leo lions baseball team together when we called him speedy Reedy. Always a smiling face and warm greeting running into him in the neighborhood. You will be missed Billy.
