    I just found out about Billy's passing, I can't believe it. He was such a great guy, I haven't seen him in many years. I remember he was such a fun loving guy with a great sense of humor and a big Aerosmith fan. Every time I heard an Aerosmith song I thought of Billy. My deepest deepest condolences, RIP Billy.

    I loved Billy like a brother. He was always there for my mom when she needed him at the restaurant. He absolutely loved my baby girl, and Evie loved him too. The last time I saw Billy he told me to "give my little angel a big hug and kiss from Uncle Billy!" I gave her double hugs and kisses. You will be missed Billy, may God bless.

    I was so sad to hear of Billy leaving us so young... I have such great memories of Billy and my brother Jimi growing up next door to each other. We were "the neighborhood kids", and I know we will miss his happy spirit among us. I will always remember Billy and Jimi trading baggies of cereal all the time because they liked the kind the other mother bought better than the one their mother bought! I will remember Billy as someone who always brought a smile to my face, and I will miss that presence in this world. Rest in peace my friend. My condolences and prayers go out to you, Robin, Mr. And Mrs. Francis, and the entire Francis family.
