Billy was a delight to work with and to be around at Cracker Barrel’s Corporate Office, up until his retirement. He was such a kind caring man who loved his family and grandchildren dearly. Cherish the wonderful memories you all had with him, as I know the loss of a wonderful Father myself and also know that God will be your strength during this difficult time in your lives. I will be lifting The Williams Family up in prayer in the days to come. God Bless you all!
