So sorry about your dad, when I saw him at Dr. Cullom's office I just couldn't believe that was the same man that use to stand and talk with us when we would be in line to see the Dr. early in the mornings. May God be with you during this time of your loss.

Mr. Billy was a character. From the time I became a part of the Bennett clan, he was always friendly, making me feel welcome. His sweet personality will be missed. Always there at ball games to support the Colts. Always attending funerals to give support to families that lost loved ones. My deepest sympathies to all of his family.

I am so sorry to learn of Billy's death. Remember with fondest his jovial demeanor and outgoing attitude. I'm sure he never met a stranger. My deepest sympathies to his children and siblings.
