So sorry to hear about Chief Kidder. When I was a teenager he let me spend most of my time at the station, I have very fond memories of him. May God grant you peace during this time.

Billy was a very special man, I knew his Dad Joe and first knew Billy in 1950's when he worked at Spur gas. He always was upbeat and a hard worker and devoted to his family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Jim Mayer
