Bobby and all the family, y’all have been so fortunate to have spent most of your lives with this kind, funny, witty, charismatic guy. I grieve along with you at this horrible loss of a friend (for you, a brother, husband, Dad). Billy will live on for all who knew him and shared in his laughter and multitude of happy memories.

To the Ford family my deepest sympathy. I live in the Westfield Community and was thrilled to find a honest auto shop ,with great service. Bill was always courtesy and also offered to give a ride back to our homes while our cars were being fixed. Bill was a wonderful person. I will continue to always bring my car to “Booy’s Auto”. RIP Bill.
