So sorry to hear of Billy’s passing. Remember all the times we all had as neighbors in Harrisville. I enjoyed talking to him at Alumni last summer.

I especially want to give my condolences to Mrs. Robinson, (I never called her Ruby). Billy and I were childhood friends and spent many hours together in your home. As a young boy, I remember the Christmas parties that you gave for the Robinson employees at the Methodist church. There are so many memories I’d like to share. I’m sad to loose such a good and dear friend, and sorry for your loss. You and the rest of the family are in our prayers. Cliff and Sue Weese
