I knew Billy from our mothers ride sharing together to Delco in Kokomo. Bill was a good man and we got together here and there for a laughs as well as some serious work. He will surely be missed by all who knew him. My condolences go out to his wife and family. God Bless you my brother and R.I.H.

As kids, Bill taught me everything a boy ought to know…and few things a boy should not have known. We had a blast We built bicycles, go-carts, mini bikes, went fishing, went hunting played basketball, football, baseball, smoked cigarettes, drank beer and smoked pot,
