We are heartbroken this morning to let everyone know that dad's battle with cancer ended this morning at 1:30 AM. There is no doubt my dad was a fighter and he fought to the very end. We want to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers over the last six weeks. Your calls, messages, cards, hugs and just the smallest things have meant a lot to dad and our family.
Our dad was a great man, well known by many. He would do anything to help anyone and had one of the biggest hearts I know. We are going to miss him dearly and his memory will live in our hearts and minds forever till we meet him again. We are rejoicing knowing that he has been healed and reunited in Heaven with Maw Maw Jo.
The family will be receiving visitors today after 6:00, for those of you who live in or around Shelby you may visit family at 1521 Sulphur Springs Rd
in Shelby and for those of you who live in or around Lake Wylie you may visit family at 721 Anchors Bend Cove in Lake Wylie.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have been following and praying for y'all the last few weeks and will continue to do so now.

DeleteVery sorry to learn of your loss. He will be missed by many. Praying for the family and friends. God bless you all.
ReplyDeleteYou and your family have my sincerest condolences. I never had the pleasure of meeting your father, but one of my best memories of him was was as a racer when he made all four restrictor-plate races in 1998, including the Daytona 500. I was so proud of him for fighting against such tall odds during NASCAR's boom. Drivers like him are what's best about this sport, and it's better now for having had him be a part of it.
ReplyDeleteIf you're interested, I wrote some of my thoughts, along with some stats on Billy's career, on my website. http://brockbeard.blogspot.com/2014/04/perseverance-and-surprise-tribute-to.html
