Dewey, it was great to meet you in person, and you deserve many thanks for doing all the hard work to put the fund together for little Rosie.
It is truly awesome how this community pulled together to help Billy's little girl.

Bill's dad is so proud of all of us. I'll do my best to paraphrase him. Don't tell the other forums he said this...hehehe
"Dewey, I have been in the racing industry all of my life. I am on so many forums, I can't count them. I know some of the most famous racers alive and dead. Most of them are stuck up ******** compared to the guys and girls of performancetrucks.net. What you represent, is not a forum but a family that I am so proud of I can't express in words. Please tell everyone how much me and my family love them for this."
yep...tears. "Truck guys are some kind of people." I wish you guys could have been there. In the presence of the famous Bill Ceralli of Competition Engines, Paterson, NJ. His wife was a ton of fun too. LOL Good times.

Mama Ceralli thank you so very much for those kind words. We all loved Billy so much. The knowledge that he injected us will be with us forever, and like Billy showing us all how to pay it forward.
I've had a few opportunities to talk to Billy on line and on the phone about my transmission builds, and for those who know, there have been more than a few. The times that I did speak to him over the phone, I could hear Rosie's sweet voice. She would tell Billy about something on the television, and then I'd hear her laugh. What a beautiful child Billy was able to help bring into this world. And I'm hoping that Billy's truck will be waiting for her, when she gets her license. We know how hard he worked on it. And looking forward to Rosie carrying forward his legacy, because I know each of us will one way or another.
God Bless Your Family

He contributed more than just knowledge to this site. I am just glad we could all be apart of giving back to his daughter after all he has done for us.
