Benton, AR Tuesday, January 5, 2016 I wouldn't be the man I am had I not met Billy. He allowed me to learn how to log timber, and coached me through any mistakes I made without belittling me. Billy was a good man, a good boss, and a good logger. Some of my best memories are the days we spent in the woods together. I will always remember Billy with a smile!Charlotte denton

Clanton, AL Sunday, January 3, 2016 Was so very sorry to hear of your loss. Billy was so much more than a cousin to me. After Jimmy died, he would come to check on his lil cousin(me) or call me to see if I needed anything. His kindness to me helped me so much. Martha, Karen, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers during this sad time. He cherished "his girls". Love to y'all
