Hello , to the family of Billy Redd. I am truly sorry for your loss. My name is Clay and I worked with Billy  in the early 80's in security. 
I happened to be in Lufkin during the Christmas Holiday and passed by what what was once Lufkin Industries.  After all these years I thought of my job in security and thought of Billy. I remember how his presence often intimidated people including other guards that were afraid of being caught asleep. I never had that issue . Even though I was only 18 or 19 at the time , Billy treated me with respect and friendship. We had many great conversations and I learned a lot from his experience and wisdom. I am sorry I never got to tell him that.
One of his job duties was to drive (roving guard) from one guard shack to another to check on other guards. I am sure he caught some sleeping. Billy and I had somewhat of a game going. He would come to check on me in my guard shack often trying to take what I called "the sneaky approach". When I saw him coming I would try to reverse it and sneak up on him. Neither of us ever won this game ! Once I returned home ( home is now in Alabama) I looked him up only see his obituary. Again I am truly sorry for your loss but I just wanted to let his family know that Billy was a positive influence in my life all those years ago. 
If you go online to the Lufkin roundup Aug 1984 there is a picture of some of the guards taking CPR. Billy is there. I am the young guy sitting by the wall.
God bless you all

I miss you more & more everyday thank you for loving me unconditionally & teaching me right from wrong and leading me in the right direction & giving me advice about my future. I’m honestly very thankful you got to meet Fenleigh you loved her so much you called her our miracle baby. I miss you so much

You never looked at me different even when i made bad choices .

Thoughts and prayers to the family. Billy was one of the nicest friends I've ever known. He took me under his wing.  I was a fellow transport driver. He helped me learn the ropes. We went on quite a few trips together to pick up cars. We sat side by side in the van whenever we had cars to pick up. I will miss him tremendously.  R.I.P. My Friend
