Billy was one of the first staff photographers at the Tennessean to offer his hand in friendship to me when I started a job as a part-time photographer and we stayed friends until I left the paper to  become a studio/freelance photographer.  Billy always had a smile and a funny story  that made the most dreary Winter day turn into Summer sunshine!  I miss him dearly; rest in peace ole friend!

One of the things I remember about Billy, was the way the darkroom at the Tennessean's photo lab would "light up" when he would come in from a photo shoot and just start telling how he had to cajole' all of the frowning subjects at his assignment into the beautiful smiling faces that would appear in tomorrow's edition!  Billy was like a 100 watt light in a 60 watt world...and we all have to squint a little more since his passing!  I sure do miss his smile!

In my short time as a Tennessean photographer, Billy was always a "ray of sunshine"  every day I worked with him!  Billy made me smile every day I worked with him! I miss his smile!




My father, Paul Oldham, worked with Billy Easley for many years at the Tennessean. They were the closest of friends and traveled all over Middle Tennessee together. I think they worked so well together because they were both such kind and compassionate gentlemen. Billy was a talented photographer and I am pleased to see that he is finally getting some recognition.

Had the pleasure of working with Bill & Cassandra at The Tennessean. Our condolence to the Easley family, keeping you in thought and prayer.

Sunny, your dad was so loved and will always be remembered by those of us who were lucky enough to know him and his work. I had known him for some time before you and I met and worked together, first at the Tennessean Front Desk, and then in Advertising. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. (It has been a long time but I always remember you and your dad, and especially the laughs you and I used to have with some of the situations that would walk in the front door at The Tennessean. I am sending a photo and hope that you remember me because I remember you with fondness and admiration. You were already really going places)

Mama G. & Cassandra, Poppy will be greatly missed. GOD loved him so much, HE decided to call him home. My prayers & love go out to you and your family.  Roley & Family

sorry to hear the sad news but I know he's in a better place be strong Cassandra

With deepest sympathy, Sorry to hear about uncle Billy, May God give you strength during these difficult times and may he be taken to the king.

Ms. Gladys, Our prayers and thoughts are with you, Cassandra and the entire family right now. We are assured that our Heavenly Father will grant you peace and comfort through your wonderful memories of Mr. Billy.

Prayers and thoughts are with Billy's family. I worked at the newspaper with him for years. He was such a fun person to be around with and talk!

Gladys - We will miss Brother Easley terribly.  We feel blessed to have known his delightfully uplifting personality.  We pray that God gives you and Cassandra much peace and joy knowing that he is in Abraham's bosom - Luke 16:22
God Bless You Both!
