Rick and Tim,
I was so sorry to see Mr. Walters passing in the paper. He was a wonderful, funny gentleman and definitely a dedicated family man. I only know you two guys and he raised two good sons!! I know he was proud of both of you. I enjoyed my talks with him at "my home away from home"..Chester Body Shop when he was still there.
My thoughts and prayers are with both of you and all of your family. Sincere sympathy to all of you. Brenda Watson and family

Peggy, I am sorry to here about your loss of Billy. He was a great man, he took care of my family and myself, even though I didnt work for him. Billy was geniune, a good man, he always made shure to give me a turkey or ham at the holidays- he made shure I didnt go without. Billy even went as far as to ask me if my payroll was taken care of if it wasent he would take it,only a person that cared about other people would do such things.I grieve your loss.The world needs more Billy walters.Peggy,Tim,Rick if there is anything I can do to help you,It would be my pleasure.--Leebo
