  1. Bill was a good friend, in our younger days we spent a lot of time togather and he will be missed.

    1. I’ve known Billy since we were really young at Demory School. He was also very helpful when I was County Executive. He worked with TVA and helped Mr get their permission to develop the Lonas Young Park. Thanks Billy. RIP my old friend.
