We will all miss him very much, including old friends and new ones. The many things Billy enjoyed in his life were camping, traveling with his brother and sister-in-law, Larry and Glen, and spending time with his grandkids. He also enjoyed time with his longtime best friend, Bob Downing. Billy proudly served his country as a Marine from 1960 to 1964. He retired in 1998 from a career as a truck driver and was a Teamster member for 31 years. Billy was always gracious. Whenever anyone asked him how he was doing, his response was “Better than I deserve. Life is good, and we had a good run!” He was a member of Garden Park Church of God for 46 years.
