Tributes
"Billy, sorry I?m late on this but I?m not much of a Obit watcher. I?ll remember you as a good friend and one tough SOB. Afraid of nothing and no one , truly a renegade. My son now owns your childhood house and I remember your room in the basement as our hangout. I didn?t know you were back in town or I would?ve surely looked you up I could never imagine both of us would live this long. See ya soon. "

"I\'m so sorry to hear about Billy he was a good friend the years I lived in Winona. I remember when we worked together on the bridge over the Mississippi in red wing and I forgot to hookup my safety lanyard, the boss chewed me out real good then Billy chewed him out real good! I couldn\'t believe Billy jeapardized his job sticking up for me. Anyway, he didn\'t get fired and we painted most of the top of the bridge that summer. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him. "
