This week has been such a sad week for me after hearing about the passing of Billy. I remember him coming to UPS as a 19 year old and working with him over 30 years. Such a good guy. I know I'll miss our quick talks about our families and the Rams. My condolences to jolie and their two sons. He was so proud of you. Peace be with you

Kreins Family

Our family is deeply saddened to hear of Billy's passing. I think back as years have passed us by and remember our boys playing baseball together and how is wasn't just baseball but friendships being built with the parents as well. When Dustin and Michael played baseball Billy and I stood there for hours during the season and talked baseball, the Rams, NASCAR, and any topics of the day. I think over the past few years how even though we may not have been in contact we still considered Billy, Jolie, Dustin and Brandon our friends as we shared that period in our life's together. I know my family considers our life's richer for Billy being a part of. Jolie, Dustin, and Brandon you are in our thoughts and prayers. We never forget them and they always have a special place in our hearts…..till me meet again. Love Jim, Jette, Michael, and Christopher Kreins

Billy was a great fun guy who loved his family. He was always there for Dustin cheering him on at the baseball games. He was very polite and made you feel important. He loved his NASCAR watching on Sundays but would come to the games anyway to watch Dustin and Brandon. He was always by his wife Jolie. They shared so much. I am sure this will be very difficult for this wonderful family. Prayers for comfort to all. Cheri
