"Happy Birthday Billy. Your genuine spark of love and sweetness and caring lives on, but so many are left feeling such loss. Sending my condolences and love to Terri and all family and friends who miss you beyond words. "
"My condolences to all of "Uncle Billie's" family and friends. I only met Billie a few times but enough to see he was a good soul, a kind person, who loved to laugh. A Stephen King quote always comes to mind when a person passes much too soon. "I have to remind myself some birds are not meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part if you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty after their gone." I know he will be missed by many. "
"I will always love Billy and will miss him. They say your cousins are your first best friends and I really believe that?s true. Thoughts and prayers are with Terri, Jenna and Sara. Love you all. "
"I am heartbroken to hear of Billy?s passing. We go back to our late teens/early 20?s when he worked in the Teen department of Yallum?s. He was best friends with my brother, Andy Hutton. We had a lot of good times together. I?m glad I got to reconnect with him when I moved back to town a few years ago. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him. "
"So very sorry for your family. There really are no words. Billy was a kind gentle soul. Thoughts and prayers with all of you at this most difficult time. Joyce Ciarlante and family"
"So very sorry to hear about Billy?s passing. I have many fond memories of babysitting him when he was little and at all the many family gatherings. He was a super cute and cool kid and an incredibly warm, personable, charming and smiling man. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers."
"To Billy's Family I am so sorry for your loss. Billy and I graduated together. Always smiling, always sweet. Hedy Matthews Navara"
