April 4, 2020 at 1:12 amHow saddened I was to see this. I was a childhood friend o Billy’s. We lived across the street on Ravenswood Dr from each other. Even shared the same birth date December 5. Only I was a year older. My sister was best friends with Dianna. My younger sister with Pam. My mother Wilma was very close to Billy’s mom Mary. The family has my deepest sympathy on the passing of Billy. Strange enough I was just texting Wayne Hoover that lived on the corner how we used to play together along with Mike Hamilton. So long friend. Until we meet in God great heaven.
