My heart breaks for “Christo’s” wife, sons and entire family as well as “Billy’s Famous Roast Beef” on the passing of such a wonderful gentleman.
My memories of your beloved have been to always see such happiness whenever you entered the Resturant and saw Christo there. I was born and brought up in my hometown of Wakefield so I am more than familiar with Billy’s and I moved to Methuen 21 years ago and continued to make the trip to Billy’s once a week for either my Scallop dinner plate or Tuna Sub. Christo and Kathy as well as everyone that was there knew how much I loved coming to Billy’s as I would always rave about the food. Your beloved “Christo” was and always will be the fixture of your kindness that he instilled in the business there. We as a community and I as a patron will miss his smile behind the counter as he looked up from what he was cooking and gave that greeting smile.
You are all in my thoughts and prayer and I hope that your wonderful memories and those that have come to be friends over the years will help you get through the many sad days ahead. Christo has a continued legacy that he started and has no end. May he always rest easy in the most glorious of places Heaven.
