I worked with Bill at General Tire. He always had a great sense of humor. Always made me get my own oil for my forklift! He will be missed. Terry Taylor, QA

We use to have some fun times back in the old days!! We use to go fishing and camping out at the lakes on weekends and one night we woke up to a cow staring into the tent!! I liked helping on the farm, bailing hay,planting and stringing barb wire. We always had a good country dinner to belly up to when it came lunchtime. Billy was a good friend and we both joined the USAF the same month. I didn't know he was at Lackland AFB till my mom wrote me a letter asking had me met yet? Well I went looking and found him. I got a letter that next week saying there was a earth quake in Fort Mill the day we met up. Both our parents knew we caused it!! I will miss you Billy, my good friend and you tell Mr. P to keep them rows straight!! Love Bro and Rest In Peace!!

The fork lift shop was a great group of guys I miss all of them. I am praying now for Bill”s family and in the days to come. The joy is we will see Bill again RIP my friend.
