Another emotional moment came as Vince Gill accepted the ACM/The Home Depot Humanitarian Award when he paid tribute to Grand Ole Opry star Billy Walker, who was killed Sunday (May 21) in a traffic accident that also claimed the life of Walker's wife Bettie and band members Charles Lilly and Daniel Patton.In accepting the trophy, Gill noted, "The beauty of this award is that it honors the giving spirit. I have a wife that has an even better giving spirit than I do, in Amy Grant. You inspire me greatly every day." Gill then presented the trophy to young girl named Caitlin, who had been seeking autographs at the event. Gill met the child earlier this week through the Make-a-Wish Foundation that grants wishes to seriously ill children.
