you will be truly missed Billy, you and that smile. May you rest peace my friend.
Billy was a true friend. We played ball together at Woodington High & LCC. Classmates for many years. I'm truly going to miss him. Sleep on BLUE.
Your friend
Billie E. Gooding
Thanks for the love!!!!!!!!!
Farewell to a Champion
On that night in ‘69
with seconds left to play
He caught the tip from Robert L.
and put the game away
The championship was ours
after years of toil and sweat
Billy Pettaway was the hero
as his team cut down the net
Now on heaven’s shore perhaps
Robert and Billy talk
About the game that winter’s night
as on streets of gold they walk
Who are we to judge
for the living or the dead?
A champion has passed on from us
that’s all that should be said
