"Oh Yeah" Is a phrase that I will dearly miss from my friend Billy. One of my regrets in life, is that I didn't know you until four years ago. Billy was a giver and not a taker. I'll miss the phone calls, texts and visits that always left me smiling and laughing. I am sad to have lost a true friend. Ken

Billy was a very old friend of my familys. His daughter, Kristin, and my sister, Katrina, were best friends growing up, and he treated all of us like we were family. I remember many summers out on the lake; camping, boating, and fishing. Those were some of the best memories of my childhood. You will be greatly missed, Billy. I'm thinking about all of you guys, and you are in my prayers. Love you, Lenzey
