MY GOODNESS, IT IS SO HARD TO BELIEVE THAT BILLY WAYNE IS GONE. HE WAS A TRULY GOOD GUY, ABOUT AS NON-CONFRONTATIONAL AS ONE COULD BE AND ALWAYS EAGER TO PLEASE AND BE A FRIEND. BILLY AND I STARTED PLAYING TOGETHER WHEN WE WERE ABOUT 7 YEARS OLD AND IF IT COULD BE DONE WE PROBABLY DID IT. HE WAS THE KING OF THE 50'S STUDEBAKER AND IT IS A GOOD THING THAT OLD CAR CAN'T TALK BECAUSE IT WOULD TELL SOME TALES.
BILLY WAS SUCCESSFUL IN HIS PROFESSION AND HE WAS SUCCESSFUL IN HIS FAMILY LIFE. IT IS QUITE EVIDENT THAT HIS WIFE JUNE AND HIS CHILDREN LOVED HIM DEARLY AND HE WILL BE MISSED TREMENDOUSLY BY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU OLD BUDDY.
