From the smithville high school class of 1964 payers for the family

I’m so sorry for the passing of Billy. He was a great guy and took great care of his mom. Rip Billy.

Rest in peace Uncle. Blessed be that your suffering is done. Enjoy the best fishing spot ever. You'll be missed.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers to the family.

He would call me and let me know how the family was doing. I will miss his calls and laughter, he was always one special guy and I am happy to have known him. Give everyone in heaven 🙏 hugs from all of us. Rest in peace.he was my husband's cousin

We are very sad to hear about your family's loss. Billy & I go way back in time. We rode Cotton's school bus that back then picked up Trimble & the county line road up to Z hwy from about 1959 or '60 and onward. He was ALWAYS a real cut up too ! He was a good man with a good heart, and he will be missed by everyone who knew him. To the Hale family you are in our thoughts and prayers - may peace be with you.

Lucille and family, My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am so sorry for your loss.

I pray for peace that passeth all understanding. Remember all the good and wonderful times you share with your Dad. I really didn't know him very well as I lived away for such a long time but I know you loved him and that is enough. He could not help but proud of his children. While I won't be at the Celebration Of Life you are having for him, you WILL be in my thoughts and prayers. I love you so much. I am always here for you. I am sorry I won't get to see Kristy while she is here but maybe she will be back up this summer and we can all have a picnic together. Your Dad would so proud of what you have mads of your life, you and Kristy.
