  7. Billy was a happy face to see every time I visited the local dog park since we first met in 2020. Terri, Billy, and good ole’ Murphy were always a good sight to see. Billy will be dearly missed and will always be remembered from those of us in our little dog-park pack. You were always kind to everyone and your soul is now at rest without any ailments getting in your way. I am very glad to have known you, even if it was for just a little bit of time.

    • Billy reached out and touched so many people. He referred to himself as “Uncle Billy” at the dog park and was a favorite person for many dogs. His caring and love for others was always felt.
      I am grateful to have known him.

  8. Terri,
    I am so sorry to hear that Billy Jo passed. I have missed seeing you all at the dog park in recent months. Billy always wanted my dog Penny to give him kisses and she always went straight to him before anyone else in our group when he called her name. He was a great man and friend and I will miss him.
    Jason
