I first met Billy at Hardees where I got close to Mrs. Willie. He was always so patient and kind waiting on Mrs. Willie while she was talking with her ladies. Mr Billy will greatly be missed. He was like a grandpa to me.

The world will not be as a better place at the loss of such a good person as Mr. Storey. He was a kind and a very good teacher. I didn't have him as a teacher myself but I was in school when he taught. He always spoke with a smile and his voice was so gentle. My prayers go out to Willie and all the family and friends that they will be comforted by the Spirit of God and I pray that the memories serve you well.
