I worked with and golfed with Billy Joe in the early '80's. He and Sandra took my wife and I under their wing. Sandra was so beautiful and I believe watching them got my wife and I started on the right foot. Fond memories. Fly high my friend.

My cousin Suzann, and I thought Billy Joe was the cutest thing ever, but he thought we
were pests. We will miss him and so sorry that we lived too far away to see him often in later years. My love and thought to all of you.
He will be missed,
Sandra Burton(a cousin)
Uncle Bill was truly one-of-a-kind. From his hilarious jokes to his yummy brittle, he could effortlessly brighten anyone's day. He would share so many unique stories which imparted both wisdom and laughter. Uncle Bill and Aunt Sandra were two of my favorite people in the world, and heaven is a brighter and fuller place now that they are reunited. Love you always Uncle Bill.
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get through the day without his sweet self stopping by my office to tell me how pretty I am and to have a good day! He has left a void in his Arabella family that will never be filled. I feel so honored to have known and loved him and will remember him for all of my days. Rest in peace Peanut Brittle Bill. - Maegan Brown
It sure was cold in that lake that day, but Mr. Shaddix did not give up on me and before it was over he taught me to water ski. It was a privilege to know him and his beautiful family.
Shelley,
We are very sorry about your dad. As former neighbors of you and Preston (across the street), we enjoyed the friendship we made with your dad and loved our wonderful visits. We are sending thoughts, prayers and our love to you and your family. May God comfort you as only He can do.
Frank and Ruth Kay
