Just noticed this thread. Been gone for a little while, had no idea about Billy's passing. It seems by the date that he passed around the same time as my grandfather (a certain virus is to blame). Funny enough, I was just thinking my grandfather, and that prompted me to sign on and read a bit. Then I found this.
I never wrote anything for my grandfather. Never posted a poem, paragraph, or social media tribute to eulogize him. I didn't want to pretend that he could hear me. I won't pretend to that Billy can hear me, but I am nevertheless grateful for the work he did to make a place for us here.
Hopefully we all continue to improve our writing and workshop endlessly in his honor.
