🦅💜 A little piece of Billy will always be with us. 💜🦅
We had to make a little spot for our Billy at his favorite table… complete with his favorite Miller Lite, a shot of tequila, and a set of keys to symbolize the ones he was ALWAYS looking for. 😂 We probably should’ve added a phone, too, because Lord knows he was always losing that or leaving it somewhere!
Billy had a personality all his own and left a mark on so many hearts. Johnny Paul. Stupid Face. Billlaaaaa! 😂 No matter where you were, you could yell “BILLAAAAA!” and without fail, you’d hear that familiar “WHAAAAATTT?” right back. Those little things that used to make us laugh are the things we’d give anything to hear one more time.
Lakeside Eagles 4211 will never be the same without you, Billy. You were so much more than a member of our club. You were a friend, a familiar face, a laugh that filled the room, and a dedicated Trustee who truly cared about the success of our Eagles family. Thank you for your service, your dedication, and all the love you poured into this club. You gave so much of yourself to 4211, and the impact you made will never be forgotten. Your presence will always be a part of this club, and your absence will be felt in ways words cannot explain.
Billy, you were one of a kind. You brought laughter, love, and a little bit of your own special chaos everywhere you went. You were so much more than a friend to so many of us, and the hole you’ve left behind is impossible to put into words.
We hope you knew just how much you were loved. We hope you knew how many lives you touched and how much you mattered. We will hold onto the stories, the laughter, the nicknames, and every “WHAAAAATTT?” for the rest of our lives.
Rest easy, Billy. Save us a seat, keep your Miller Lite cold, pour yourself a shot of tequila, and for the love of all of us, try not to lose your keys or phone up there. 💜
Thank you for being you, for loving our club, and for being one of ours. You are missed more than words can ever say.
Once an Eagle, always an Eagle. 🦅💜
Until we meet again, Billy. You will never be forgotten. 🕊️
