Billy was a very religious man of Catholic faith and attended Immaculate Conception Church. He was a loving person and has helped many people in need. He never met a stranger. He was just a sweet soul. Billy never had children of his own, but his sister Theresa Brown-Guillory had seven, and we were all treated like his children. He was always there for us no matter what. A special thanks is given to John Gilland due to his total care especially after Billy lost his eye sight. He is such a dedicated, caring, person.
