My name is Patty Covington-Gloss (1981). Billy is my brother (1976). His birthday is August 15, 1958. "Happy Birthday Billy! You will always look (17) to me" . He died May 22,1976 from injuries sustained from a car accident on a very dark road in Townsend DE.
In high school my brother was tall and thin with a quiet laid-back personality and a easy smile. What his classmates may remember most about Billy was his "70's" style long straight hair. Check-out his year book picture. After Billy's death our father grow his own hair long and pulled back in a pony-tail just like Billys, in honor of his beloved son.
Billy's parents were Gloria Covington (Wright) class of (19 ) and Edwin Covington. They quitely mourned their sons death until they passed-way: January (1999) and October (2010) respectively. Billy also has (3) sisters: Karen Ward (Covington) (1974), Shirley Hudson (Covington) (1979) and Patty Covington-Gloss (1981).
It is said that "Time heals all wounds" however, the loss of what could have and should have been never fades.
So sorry for your loss. I remember you brother well. 1976 was a tough year for our graduating class. Not only the loss of Billy, but others. I too, lost my brothers Darren (class of 1978) and Ronald (class of 1971). They will forever remain in our hearts.
