I had the honor of being guided by Billy Bob several times on the White River. I'll always remember his patience helping my elderly father get his first and only trophy brown trout. My fishing buddy and I will never stop marveling at how Billy Bob could see trout no one else could. Most of all, I cherish his memory because he was a good man--and if you knew him too, you'll know how high that praise is. My best to his family.

You were the realest man I ever knew. You loved me and my boys unconditionally and never failed to be there if we needed anything. You are missed more than you could have ever imagined and things will never be the same without you here. We love you beyond forever….
