Omg!!! I just found out about Billy Passing away today!!!! I use to work at the bowling alley in the 80’s and I remember it like it was yesterday. He is the only boss I had that actually took up for me he was one of the best people you could ever meet. I am so sad that he is gone It breaks my heart
Our Hearts and Prayers go out to the Hardwick Family. Billy was such a kind person, he will be truely missed by all. The Lloyd Family
My deepest sympathy to the Hardwick family from one of your league bowlers at All Star Lanes. Last time I saw Billy, he was watching Rebecca bowling on her league. When my kids were small, we had their birthday party at All Star. And they are in their 20’s now. So this place holds many memories to our family. Going there every week and bowling is such a joy, year after year. Thank you, Billy, for providing All Star Lanes to this community as a legacy. You will be missed, but not forgotten. – Linda Reed

Billy was a wonderful man. I was fortunate to have grown up with his daughters and was always treated as part of the family. He welcomed me to come work at the bowling alley and I was treated as family there as well. Growing up he was always witty, playful and would light up a room with his fun humorous personality. I love his family and my heart and prayers are forever with them. Billy you will be sincerely missed.
I’ve known Billy from the first day he opened the doors to All Star Lanes and was one of his first customers and became friends with him immediately. Billy and I shared a lot of conversations not only about bowling but about life in general. He was one of a kind and never will be duplicated. I never have heard anyone say an unkind word about him. I miss him and will always keep his legacy alive. The bowling world has lost a legend and the world has lost a great man. Donnie Acklen
My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of the greatest name in Memphis Bowling History. I will never forget you Billy. Harry Kantz
