Im very sorry to see that Billy died . In 1993 I bought my apartment building from Billy . He was always cheerful and loved hitting the golf balls around the yard he will be missed.
So sorry to hear of your family’s loss, Barry. May God bless you at this most difficult time.
My sympathies to Mr. Robert’s family. Such a pleasant man; obviously devoted to his wife. He always made me smile when I saw him riding his bike and he never failed to say hello. He will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love and blessings to each of you.
Love and blessings to all.
