Bill (Speedy), you were like a father to me for many years. Even tho you & mom never married, you were truly the closest thing to a father I ever had in my life. I just found out you left the world too soon. Sadly we didn't keep in touch over the years but I never forgot what a good guy you were to us both. And how much you made me laugh as a teen. "Who you calling fool, fool? YOU, fool!!" My condolences to Bill's family. Laurie, I think I met you once or twice when you were a little girl but i wouldn't expect you to remember. I am so sorry for your loss. He was a good person and that's hard to find. Take care.

billy, i was blessed to meet u , a true gentle man,rip

I will always cherish the last time we were together, we laughed so hard I cried. We promised we would keep in touch and you texted me everyday a "Good Morning Sis"! Your text with a comment would bring a smile to me each day. Our talks were mostly about Laurie and Leah and the great times you shared together. I miss you Bro!
