William Battle (Billy) my brother, my friend will be missed. He was a bright light and purpose led man of God. I will miss his uplifting voice and his determination see good and do good. The world will be a little less bright for a while. He loved, he loved. He was a true and dedicated Baker Lion.

William (Billy) Battle, Jr. was a life long friend. We grew up in the same neighborhood and stayed in contact through many, many years. We (Billy, Greg Manns) talked on the phone and Billy kept me up to date on many friends from the "Hood" and from Baker .He will be truly missed. So sorry that another fallen "LION" has left the great Baker High School "LION PACK".
