I am gutted and disgusted at myself for not going to see Billy, he called me around the beginning of December and told me what had happened, I said I would get down to see him and I didn't manage. Last Tuesday I was working on Mull and I decided to give him a call while I was on the ferry, I got an answering machine, left a message, when I was on the the way back his son called and told me his Dad had passed 2 wks previous. Billy was hard working, funny, and one of the nicest people I knew, I would meet him in Ayr for a coffee when I was working there, He would come up to my house with his steel and we would do a little bit of picking. I still remember the smile on his face when he got all the way through Mansion on the Hill at one of our early meetings. I'm going to miss him. RIP Billy.
