| My Uncle Billy was the most joyous person that I ever met. He was always very good to myself and my family. He used to entertain us with his stories and his journeys down memory lane. He was a very loving and caring man. Our thoughts and prayers are with our Aunt Kitty and cousins Patrick & Tracy. We loved him a lot. We will miss our uncle Billy very very much. |
