Billy Miller has always been my favorite Billy. Nobody else will ever be ‘Billy’ for me. What a loss. Sending my condolences to his family and friends. RIP Billy.
I’m 77 and have loved Billy from the 1st time I saw him on Y&R. I have followed him ever since. He reminds me so much of my son. I was devastated hearing about his death but of course the fact that he committed suicide is very heart breaking. Now I know he also had SupraNuclear Palsey. My daughter suffers from FSH Muscular Dystrophy and Schitzophrenia. The challenges in every aspect of her life are immense. My heart goes out to what Billy was going through. It has touched me deeply. With sincere sympathy to all those that were blessed to know him.
