I was so sorry to hear about Bill, prayers for your family. I worked with Bill at Carolina Color Corp for many years. He was such a hoot to work with. He was always making us laugh. Rest in peace my friend, you will truly be missed. Until we all meet again in heaven.

Bonnie, Gail, Derrick and all of Billy\'s family. I\'m so sorry to hear of Billy\'s passing. We had many good times in Hiwassee and I still use an oak cutting board that we cut out in Stanley\'s shop back in the early 70\'s over 40 years ago!

I have only good memories of Billy. I was very sorry to read his obituary in the Southwest Times. My sympathies to all his family and especially to his mother.

I met Billy in the sixties at Pulaski Primitive Baptist Church, a great friendship followed. Billy was a great guy to be around, he had high energy and good personality. I've missed being around him over the decades. Prayers and concerns go out to the family.
