I just found out Billy passed, and am so sorry. He was my first cousin and I have good memories of family gatherings when I was young...In my memories, he is always smiling. My deepest condolences to his partner, children, sisters and entire family. He was a good guy and I will miss knowing he's around. Much love to you all.

Billy was my first cousin. I didn't know he had passed. I have many fond memories of Bill at family gatherings when I was young, and in my memories, he is always smiling. I haven't spoken to him since my mom (Florence) passed in 2016, and am so sad to hear of his passing. My deepest condolences to all his family. Love and hugs.

You will be missed. Bob & Nina
I have some fond memories as a child of my Uncle Bill at Holly Lake Campground. Several other family members had places down there too. He his country music and our crab feasts. We had some great family parties. Great laughs and lots of memories of you throughout the years. RIP Uncle Billy. I love you forever
