Re: Billy Loyd JR sad news
Unbelievable to hear. While being a batfan but not being too knowledgeable on the bat world I found Billy sensible and inviting and always willing to help. We corresponded many times over Hornet issues.
Billy was fighting these demons for some time I understand. Let his example clearly show the seriousness of the condition known as depression. May any and all forum members seek help if they are in need. Let Billy's life and example bring the community together, its the way Billy would have wanted it.
Perhaps in some way Billy will find peace and meet up with Caesar, Burgess, Frank and the others.

PLEASE keep this earlier request in mind when posting.
________________________
What I would like to ask all of you is what was asked of me by his oldest son who is dealing with this all first hand. Let's keep our posts on this thread/subject focused on our condolences to the friends and family, updates on Andrew's condition and any well wishes, prayers and good vibes we can send their way. Let's stay away from anything judgmental or speculative to Billy's actions or state of mind during his darkest moment. I know that many are trying to comprehend it or sort it out but I need to ask you please keep much of that away from here.

I understand some of us need to vent about this, BUT this is not where to do it. I am online most of the work week through various chat software as well as the bat-chat text chat we have here. Seek me out and we can chat.

Re: Billy Loyd JR sad news
I am with Andrew now in the hospital. He suffered from a hernia last night that has left him, for lack of better words, brain dead. We are currently discussing arrangements for Andrew to be an organ donor so he may not have much time left in this world. I can not begin to express my gratitude for the sentiment of everyone here. It has been very difficult to deal with this situation and it has been a heavy burden that is very hard to shake. I think one of our good friends said it best though, "some days you just can't get rid of a bomb."
Much love.

Billy, I am so very, very sorry to hear about Andrew. God bless you for the courage and strength it must be taking to hold yourself and your family together through this whole horrible ordeal. If it helps at all please know you have friends around the country and the world pulling for you and praying for you every step of the way.

Re: Billy Loyd JR sad news
I'm terribly shocked to hear this. I recently lost an Uncle a few days ago so this has been a bad week in general. I never met Billy although I heard nothing but good things about him and long admired his craft skills on his Bat belts. Such a tragedy. I'm at a loss.
My deepest thoughts and condolences go out to his family.

Billy & Andrew on their trip to Florida in 2010. What good times we had that week.
I'm really going to miss my two friends.
