I don't know what to say.... I am floored. I just found out. Bill Sr., My prayers go out to you and to Rosie. I know she was his world.
I had the pleasure of meeting Billy through this forum when I first joined and figured out that we lived about 10 minutes apart. Through the years we built a friendship through our appreciation of this hobby. Billy was a great man, father, and friend. I know that he helped so many on this forum, and he has helped me with my trucks many times. In fact, the last time I saw him we fixed a fuel evap problem on my truck together. He always had time to give advice, dream of new builds, and lend a helping hand. We were just chatting recently about getting the kids together after the holidays.... I had no idea he was in such a dark place, I'm so sorry.
If there is anything my family and I can do for you and Rosie, please let me know. We have lost a great friend.
Godspeed Billy

I never had the pleasure of talking to Billy in person, or knowing him well, but I saw him around here a lot, read a lot of his posts, stirred the pot a bit. I learned a lot from him in the short time that I've been around regularly. All I can offer is condolences, sorrow for his family's loss, as well as our loss, and hope, that the posts here will continue to echo his knowledge for future members to learn from him, and that his family can recover from this devastating event.

Billy was more than my friend, no we never met face to face but after years of bs'ng on these boards we establish a connection something like family. I am truly saddened to hear of his death and although I haven't spoken to him in some time I feel a great loss.
RIP my brother.
RIP my brother.

Dewey said the banner would take a considerable amount of time to put in place. To do something in a shorter time frame, could someone make a nice sig jpeg that we could all then download and save to our photobuckets to display. May not be as nice as a banner, but it will probably get as many views.

Absolutely stunned to here about about Billy. He was great knowledgable guy and always knew exactly what he was talking about. Used to talk to him on here and facebook, we would comment to each other about our kids. The site will not be same without him and he will be greatly missed.
