I listened to the rest of the podcast last night. Billy tells some really funny and touching stories about the tour back in the day.

If you get a chance please listen. There's a comment section to post condolences if you wish as well.

Lets not get too down in the dumps folks. The important thing is; Billy Hardwick is STILL ALIVE in my Fantasy Tournament posted elsewhere on the site. From a field of 64, he's one of the remaining 8...so the rest of the tournament will be in honor of his memory!!

Actually the podcast is quite funny. My husband enjoyed it. He lost his Dad as a teenager. I think Billy reminded him of how his Dad may have been in his later years.

I'm so glad Billy got to see Chris get the big TV contract with @Midnight.

I just got done working with/visiting with Barry Asher who just got back from the funeral in Memphis. It was interesting to hear him talk about the funeral and Billy…I guess he was one of 3 other PBA pro bowlers that were there and knew Billy well.
