Billy had two great loves in his life- his family and his music. These two things went hand in hand. He was never far from a guitar and always ready and excited to play and sing for his family. Just by being himself, Billy brought so much joy into the world with his smile, jokes, laugh and singing. He loved with his whole heart and he was loved just as much! Billy- the talented and amazing musician, the awesome and loving husband, Dad, brother, Paw Paw, Uncle Bill Bill and friend- will never be forgotten.
