  11. Billy and I grew up together, worked at Shroeder’s deli together, hitchiked all over the place..fished @ the Brickyard on our bikes….listened to Bill Cosby when he first started……for many years…..the best of friends.
    Haven’t thought about Billy for decades……I don’t generally react to passings but I’m sad for the passing of Billy. He’s over the tribulations of this life and now enjoying his new loving home with The Lord Jesus.
    See on the other side old friend.

  36. Due to the many miles between us, I never got to know Bill as well as I would have liked to. I did however, get to know him well enough to know that he was a truly loving and compassionate man. We hit it off within the very first minutes we met! I felt like we were long time buddies within mere hours of being around him. And I know I’m not the only one that felt that way around him. He will never be forgotten, but he will forever be missed.

    R.I.P. Brother!
