i am sending my sympathy to all of Billy's family and friends during this sad time.
Billy and I got to know each other when we were fifteen years old and in downtown Gate City and especially in its pool rooms. All of the gang had given each other nick names. Billy was "Biggie Rat", although I don't now know its origin. What I do know is that Billy truly loved Gate City. When he and I -- as well as Larry and Gary Sever -- were roommates at ETSU in 1967, whenever any of us asked Billy what he was doing this weekend he always said "I'm going to GATE CITY" with great emphasis. Billy's ambition was to be a teacher and to serve the people and place he loved, and he did it. Thank you, "Biggie Rat". The world is a better place for having had you in it.

Dear Julie,
We are sorry to hear about the passing of your dear father. We will be thinking about you and your whole family as you mourn and grieve the loss of your father, William R. Quillen, Jr. He was a champion and probably was your number one fan. You honored him by having your son carry his precious name. May your love continue to thrive through your memories. God bless you. God help you. God bless your family. We love you. Jack, Carla, Lauren, Baby Emogene and Rebecca Sorrell from Georgia.

Dont even know where to begin really. You must have taught all 6 of my sisters n then had me as well. From the classroom to the football field you always encouraged me to go above and beyond of what i thought i could i do. If i ever had a problem or just needed to talk you was always there. For that i thank you and words cant describe how you impacted my life on and off the field. You will be missed dearly #r.i.p.CoachQuillen
