Billy was my uncle, but growing up in our family, he was more like a big brother. We used to play with the Wilson and Kinnard kids in the creek bottom, learned how to swim in Blackwater creek, built stuff in the blacksmith shop, hoed and picked cotton and worked in the garden together. He was always kind and patient with me. We had many great memories together with our family. Goodbye old friend. We love you and your family. Bonnie and I can’t be there in person but will be there in spirit.
