I want to offer my sincere condolences for the loss of your love one . When I first read this and saw his picture; I went straight to my husband and said look at this, this is Mr. Bill every time you see him. He was always so sweet and up beat. I got used to hearing Michelle my Bell, upon his entrance. At work I winded being transferred from my position to another. When that happened he would walk down the hall to check on me; see if I was okay. I truly needed it at the times and was blessed to say he was a friend. I hope God wraps his loving arms around you and the happy memories give you comfort. It was truly a honor to have known him. I am sending love and prayer to all of his family and friends

This is a tribule I posted on my facebook page about Billy:

I learned a couple of days ago of the death of an old friend Billy Kentzel of Covington. Billy and I were not close friends but I visited his printing business on a few occasions to conduct some business transcations for my newspaper. At other times Billy and I met for coffee and toast at the old Courthouse Cafe next door to the St. Tammany Farmer. Other times we had a couple of beers at The Boston Pub on Boston Street. Billy was always amiable and i like him a lot. I will miss Billy, but not nearly as much as his family and close friends. RIP Billy, you represented the best of us.

Mr. Bill was a true gentleman...a rare human being with a soft heart, a genuine kindness, and an enthusiasm for life. I feel very thankful that I had the opportunity to get to know him, and I know his departure has left an emptiness in many hearts. My love and sincere condolences to Kourtney and all of the precious Kentzel family.

Another sad loss for those who grew-up in Covington. I never saw Billy without a smile on his face and always had something nice to say. My wife Lisa & I are better people for having the pleasure to know Billy. Rest in Peace My Friend.

I am so deeply saddened to hear of Mr Bill's passing. When I first started making prints, I went into Kentzels to talk to him-- I was so nervous, but I was instantly put at ease by his kindness. He was a wonderful, warm presence, and I loved going in to pick up my prints if only to exchange some words with him. I remember him always at his desk at Kentzel's, with his glasses on the end of his nose, going over invoices-- but no matter how busy he was he always had time to have a conversation. May his memory be a blessing.
Sincerely,
Emma
