Oh my god......... This is really shocking. I am sorry to hear what has happened...... Even though I am fairly new and don't really know Billy well, but this board has formed everyone into friends, a bat-family. Rest in peace now my dear friend and may Andrew and the family be well.

I'm simply in shock. Billy was one of the first people here to really welcome me with true friendship, he was a fantastic fellow from the get.

My prayers go out to his entire family, and especially to Andrew.

Rest in peace, Billy. I hope you've found peace.

Such horrible news. :( And poor Andrew will have a lot of emotional trauma to deal with if he makes it through this.

What terrible, terrible news. Billy was a hugely talented and (on this board, anyway, which is the only way I knew him) thoroughly pleasant individual to interact with, and I'll miss his posts. Depression is a devastating thing. Prayers to his family and especially his injured son. Billy, I hope you find in the next life the peace that eluded you in this one.
