A talented woodworker, Billy spent hours creating items which he enjoyed sharing with all. He had a gift of making friends easily and with joy. He loved his SWHS friends, his Delta Gamma ladies, his COR buddies, his neighbors, John Wayne and dogs. He loved his birthday parties, Jayhawks and anyone who would discuss his belt buckles with him. He was especially close to his many cousins and he touched countless lives. We're profoundly grateful for having Billy's gentle spirit in our lives.
