Thank you for your kindness, I’m going to miss my brother. He’s not suffering anymore from his broken body anymore.
I have known Billy since I was 8 years old. I remember riding my bicycle 🚲 to Billy’s house when I was 12 years old and seeing my first swimming pool. Never would have thought that 30+ years later I would have one. I also remember working with Billy and his Dad laying carpet in Panama City in condos. I could go on and on. You will be missed Billy, R.I.P.
Met Billy at the campground when we first moved down here. Super nice guy. Always cracking jokes and smiling. He will be missed.
Wow. I was real shocked and saddened to hear this news today. I have many fond memories of Billy and the King family as we grew up close to one another in West Bainbridge. My sincere condolences to the entire King family.
