Billy, You left us to quickly. We had way too many things to do together including of course a Cubs world series game. We had so many laughs over the years and I can't even begin to name them all here. I promise you that I will be there for Annie and the kids whenever they need anything. You're out of pain now and one day we'll be back together again doing Movie lines and laughing at all the people in the world who just aren't as perfect as you and I. I love you man and I'll miss you so much. One more thing, Thanks for teaching me how to Ice Skate, but I was still faster than you!!! Love, Steve
