Dear Kathy,
I am so sorry to hear of Billy’s passing. I remember when he started at Delcastle High School. He was 2 years behind me, but we always spoke to each other. He happily updated me periodically on how your family was doing. Then fast forward to 1986, I started my job at DP&L – and I worked with your Dad.
Again, my sincerest condolences to you and Cindy at this difficult time.
