My cousin, Billy, was an awesome guy and would do anything for anybody. I remember him fondly for his wit, smarts, and genuine love for his family. My last time with him was picking him up at the airport, where he greeted me wearing a huge black cowboy hat and a smile that dwarfed the hat. RIP Bill, you will be missed!
