Billy. You will always be in our heart and thoughts . Always smiling. Tom and Pat Hopf
Ed and Deb;
I just heard, I’m so sorry. I can’t help but think of all the hours spent sitting on the wall between our houses talking to your dad while Billy worked on a car in the driveway. Or the summer nights cursing him and the noise of the air tools coming through my bedroom window when I couldn’t sleep. I hope he is at peace and is surrounded by the things he loved – cars, racehorses and your mom and dad.
Thinking of you all,
Karen
