R I P Billy Kirk
Just heartsick to have lost our good friend and classmate Billy Kirk. He was an member of the reunion planning committee and was looking forward to sharing stories at our upcoming reunion. Bill had two sons and was married to fellow classmate Vickey Presley. Bill was the "love of her life and the man of her dreams." Our thoughts and prayers are with Vickey and the Kirk family. Check facebook for arrangements. We will miss your smile and quick wit Billy!
