I can't believe it, Billy Kattawar another Classmate of 67 BHS has passed.. Just last week Dan Nunez.. Billy and I were Altar Boys at St. Micheals and had many conversations about life and girls in our youth. We both enjoyed working on cars and Billy first taught me about Vacuum gauges and what you can tell about your engine. I always liked Billy and I will miss him.

I highly respected Bill because he was straight forward, there was no guessing as to what he was saying. Bill Kattawar was his own man and not many of us can say that. .

It was never a dull day working with Mr. Bill. He had the wildest stories and offered solid advice when you needed it. He will be missed greatly.

Bill was definitely one of a kind. He always had some hilarious stories to tell and always had advice for you. I had the honor to work with him for many years and to call him friend. He will be missed so much.

Bill was a genuine character. I worked with him at Broussard and enjoyed talking with him hearing him grumble about people. He will be missed.

My Prayers for the Family of Bill. I remember him from Beaumont High School where he played the clarinet and very serious about his love for music. Bill was in the same class year of my older brother, Carlo Malley, Jr. They are both in Heaven talking about old times. Would see Bill when I attended funerals at Broussard's and know that he will be truly missed by all. Barbara, I did not know Bill was your brother and I want you to know I'm truly sorry for your loss. Thoughts and Prayers to is wife, sons, and Grandchildren and the other of Bill's Family members. Kathryn Malley Hinojosa.

Deborah, my sweet godmother, please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your husband, Bill. I don't really have the right words to say as I cannot imagine what this loss is like but I hope you can find comfort in our faith and that we can all see what a devoted and loving wife you are. And sometimes, the depth of our grief, as painful as it is, can also indicate the depth of our love. May his memory be eternal , Zohreh
