So young, as many were, I always looked up to him. He always watched out for his twin sisters, Debbie and Diane, and was loved by all. All the pretty girls liked him too. He has never been forgotten, and never will be. He had the most beautiful smile, the whitest teeth, and a zest for life. I love you, Billy.

The four men were
