Billy holds a special place in my heart. He was such a kind, hardworking, passionate gentleman with a great sense of humor. We lost touch years ago and hearing about the news of his passing broke my heart. From greeting me with coffee and donuts, sharing cracker barrel and various other restaurant lunch dates, St. Louis Cardinal games, helping fix my car, livestock auctions, general life advice ( I could go on and on) I will never forget this man and the role he played in my life at the time. I miss you, friend!
