So sorry to hear of his passing. Our sons attended TTJC as young boys and the discipline and lessons they learned are still remembered. Billy was a teacher, a mentor, and a friend. Our prayers are with his family. May the Lord grant you grace and peace at this difficult time.

So sorry to hear of his passing. "Sir" was a local celebrity for sure. I spent a lot of time with him and his family when I was younger both at TTJC and at his restaurant. Those were some great times! He always had a sense of humor as well. I think the first memory I have of him was when I went to a sleep-over at Levi's house and Sir tried to scare us outside the window with a katana! Praying for his family during this difficult time.

Billy was an impressive human being, gifted martial artist, and exceptional mentor. I began taking lessons from him around the mid 90's when Milo was still little. He had just installed those new fans and was always telling everyone to "watch out for my fans!" In time I stopped taking lessons but learned much from him in the 90's. Just over ten years ago I started bagging groceries at Food City and always enjoyed seeing him come through the checkout lines so we could catch up and joke a little about days gone by. He was a great guy and will be missed. 평안히 쉬어라, 선생님.

I was a student in 90's at TTJC. I respected Billy so much and looked forward to classes each week. I am so sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers for all of those who knew him and were close to him.

So sorry for your loss. I worked with Billy, off and on, for quite a few years. He was always a ray of sunshine to be around. He will be sorely missed. Heaven gained another angel, God Bless.

Milo and Levi, your father loved you both so very much. Some of my best memories come from your childhood and watching you grow. Keep hold of the memories you shared with your dad and let them live through you with your children. Michael, Billy was always so proud of you and your talents- you are a naturally gifted martial artist and he spoke highly of you always- I can hear him now, “Brother”! Kim, thank you for giving us all the gifts of your son, Billy. No words can express just how sorry I am for your loss. Because of you we were all blessed to know and love Billy. My heart is heavy knowing my son lost his Godfather but one day we will all be reunited. Continued prayers for comfort and peace that only God can provide. And to you, Sir, rest easy, friend!
