Dear Nick and all the wonderful Flynn family🙏 I’m saddened to hear of Billy’s early in life passing. May his soul Rest In Peace , and May all the family honor him daily with kindness and a smile to all😊. I’ll never forget the extremely competitive 880 race we ran against each other in high school, with Billy, Jamie S. and myself each crossing the finish line in a tie in a very fast race. God bless 🙏
