I just learned of Billy’s death. I have been friends with his younger sister, Karen, from 4th grade through today and into the future. Billy was always Karen’s cute and wise older brother. He was so cool! I saw him from time to time up at Lake George. He always had a look of amusement and wisdom on his face. I spoke with one of Billy’s high school classmates a number of years ago and he said Billy was the smartest guy in their high school class. I know Karen and Jimmy will miss him, as will I.
