  4. Billy was in my class in 1967. RMSHS. A very well mannered fellow he was. I knew he had gone off to the Maries and served his country with honor. He was such a thin fellow with dark frame glasses. I could not see him as a Marine but he served well he did. I will miss him and to his family you sure are proud i know.
