I have known Billy since I was 22. This was the first time I ever bought liquor. I also went to Theater Lounge when he owned it. Billy was a good friend and special person, he had smile that no matter how down you were, you would smile right back at him. He was never able to say my name or maybe he just wanted to call me Debber! He was just a great guy. May God bless each and everyone of your family. take joy in knowing what a great guy he was.
