So sorry to hear of Billy's passing. We were partners for a season on the Monday afternoon golf league. He was a good guy, and we had some laughs together. My condolences to his whole family.

It was always about the music and our shared love of music. From our very first concert, Led Zeppelin at Yale Bowl in 1970 (Billy wore a blazer!!) to so many over the years: Dylan, Willie, Wilco, Mellencamp, One Republic, Knopfler and Blues on the Beach in Misquamicut. He always had a smile on his face and music in his heart. Bill, you now have your 'Room at the Top of the World' (nod to Petty, Bill's favorite) and I wish you eternal peace. Love forever, your 'Sista' Sue/Susan
