.Billy Beans., You have been the best dad, the best grandpa and the best friend to us. Thank you for always being there for us through the good times and bad, We love you and will miss you deeply! Your memory will be in our hearts FOREVER. Love, Dana Dale and Garrett Hastings
Billy meant so much to so many… As Dale’s sister, Dana’s sister-in-law and Garrett’s aunt, I know exactly what he specifically meant to them. Billy was like a father to Dale, and Dale loved him dearly for that. Dana thoroughly enjoyed his sense of humor and character and was proud of the way he and her mother shared their lives together. GG loved having him as a fun loving grandpa and will miss him very much as he grows older. We are so sad for all who loved him. We wish peace and healing for you, Sharon. Love, Tom, Lisa, Cody (Berling)and Chloe English
God Bless Billy and his loved ones at this sad time. May he rest in peace.
I would like to extend my deepest condolenses to you all. Billy was a fine man with a wonderful spirit. Rest in the scripture and assurance of Psalm 91. God will never leave or forsake you. He will fill up your hearts with joy and remove the heaviness upon the asking. Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you. God bless you all and I’m praying for you.
