"Hey Billy...You will be missed...but I will remember all the good laughs and pranks we had with each other! Especially the ?egg?! Is it hard boiled or is it not??? Billy ( as well as his brothers and Dad) worked at Budweiser for my Dad Sandy?each day after his routes Billy would come in the office and crack ?my? hard boiled eggs on his head then eat them...so I made a batch of eggs just for him(leave mine alone!!!). One egg was not boiled...each day I waited as he cracked the egg on his head...finally the raw one...ha ha it ran all over his face!!!?. Billy and Robbie have been coming over to Twin Lakes to visit me when I come back in the summer...I always offered Billy an egg with his Bud but he never ?trusted? it!!!
