Billy and I were one year apart in the Stuttgart School system and lived in the same neighborhood for much of our school years. Many memories float in and out of my mind such as the playground pirate game where I was " Ye Varlet " and we fought for possession of the key to the treasure. The key was from an old Spam meat can. In later years when I was on summer break from college, I helped Billy install a radio tower on top of a building during a time of winds gusting up to 20-30 miles per hour. I tremble at the thought of that experience now. It is with great sorrow that I learned Billy's passing and I wish the best for his family
