I am so honored to have met and been able to take care of this awesome Man. We had alot of good times together. He was always so pleasant and easy going.I Love him like he was family and he always treated me as such. I will never forget the good times we had together.
In loving memory of Billy, he was a man that was truly loved by his family. While we know he is in heaven and deserves a crown of glory, he will be sorely missed. Sweet memories and the Holy Spirit will bring comfort in days to come. May God bless all that knew and loved him.

Cara, Chandra & Family:
I'm sorry for your physical loss of Mr. Apple. I know you will miss seeing and visiting with him. I know you're rejoicing that he is now with our Savior; and that you have the hope of seeing him again, one day.
I pray that as God is present with each of you, that He fills the void that you now feel. I pray that you feel His comfort and peace.
My deepest condolences to all of "Pop's family. May you find peace and comfort in your time of need.
