Naples, FL Saturday, December 5, 2020 Billy Lansdale was a prince of a man. He was always impeccably dressed, polite and professional as he helped my father find a suit to wear. As a child I would visit Van Atkins store with my father. It was always a joy to see him as he had a bright smile for everyone that entered the store. May God bless all of his family as you gather to remember his life.Lavera Burton
