So sorry to hear of Billy's passing. We were stationed together In Brawdy 1981-83. He was a great guy with a super sense of humor. Another legend gone too soon. My prayers and condolences to his wife Karen and the rest of their family. RIP shipmate.
Billy was the Research chief at Lewes when I was a young guy. He used to just wear me out in front of the Ops secretary (hot woman) because I couldn't grow a beard...until I reminded him that no matter how much beard he grew, he was never going to be 6 feet tall. Shut him up permanently.
