Billy Joe was one of my best friens in high school. He had a smile that could light up the darkest room and the ability to make any one laugh.I will miss him dearly. His family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Billy Joe was an amazing person with a great personality. He could make any one laugh, even if you were mad at him, you would laugh. He will be greatly missed by me and many others. He is now at home with Joey and Pookie. Can you imagine the party they had? Diane, you will be in our thoughts and prayers today, tomarrow, and even a year from now!
