To the family of Billy R, my most sincere condolences.  I see he left this life for a better one 9 years ago.  I had lost contact with him many years ago.  He and I were room mates at Bethesda, MD in 1971.  We were attending basic training as future Postal Inspectors.  The apartments had 2 bedrooms, with 2 separate beds.  I was from Boston, and he from Arkansas.  It took several weeks to understand each others speech.  He was an honorable man, and a great loss to the Inspection Service when he chose a different career path a few years later.  His memory lives on - by many his life touched.

Best Regards,
Tom Taylor
Postal Inspector - Retired  480-714-2299

Dear family and friends of Billy R Upson:  I am so saddened to learn of Billy's passing so many years ago.  He and I were roommates at the Inspection Service basic academy in Bethesda, MD in 1971.  He was a fine man and a good friend.  We lost touch when he placed family over the requirements of the Postal Inspection Service, and reverted to the postal service.  Good for him.  I always respected his decision.  

I am so sorry to hear about Billy.  Thinking of him brings back memories of good family times together in Texarkana, as well as, our Allen reunion at Bunker Hill Resort in Missouri.  Don thought highly of him.  He was the Best Man at our wedding.  Stacey, Michael, and I send our regards to the family.

Billy was one of a kind; and that is a good thing. He was warm, caring, witty and best of all genuine. I had the privilege of calling him friend and working with him in the Texarkana Post Office. He was a great man who left a positive mark where ever he went. I so enjoyed our  time together and he will be greatly missed.

I spent considerable time working with Billy in the Literacy Council in the 1990's and 2000's. I enjoyed his companionship and conversation while working the many projects and fundraisers for his favorite cause, Literacy. He will be sorely missed by the community and those who knew him well.

Prayers to Billy's family. Worked with him when he returned to Texarkana. A great co worker always jovial in the early mornings & full of kind words.

Saddened to hear of your loss. Billy was a good guy who enjoyed helping people. 
We both worked with Billy at the Texarkana Post Office for many years. 
We admired his work with the Literacy Council which he took very seriously. I still have the necklace I bought from Billy at his shop on Loop 245 years ago.
Peace to the family.

So sadded to hear of your loss.  My memories of Billy and Becky go back many years, they lived in the Stephens Addition.  When I would visit my grandparents and Homer Stephens, my uncle, we would play together.  Then when we moved back to Texarkana my Junior Year, attending LE, we reconnected.  Again my deepest felt condolences to your famiily.

Prayers for the family - may Billy rest in peace . Enjoyed working and knowing Billy through the Postal Service - a good person !

Sending condolences to your family. I am glad to have reconnect with you, but sad that it was at such a difficult time. I wish I had known Billy Ray better. Mom loved him and Becky too. Lots of good memories. Sounds like you have lots of good memories to cherish too. You will continue to be in my thoughts are prayers. I know this is a tough time. I pray for you to find rest and to work through the grief so that you will again find joy in life without your loved one. After my Dad died, I was "numb" for a few months. And suddenly the fog started to clear and slowly life became normal again. Blessings to you.
