Billy is survived by his wife, Jean Joyce Stone; two sons: Glenn Vincent Stone, Steve Allen Stone and wife, Bonnie; granddaughter, Samantha Ann Stone; and brother, Benford Davis (BD) Stone and wife, Rena.
Billy graduated from Hardin Reynolds Memorial High School. He served in the United States Army and was a Military Police Officer at Fort Knox. He retired from Fieldcrest Mill after many years as a loom mechanic. He was a member of Pleasant View Baptist Church.
Billy had a curiosity for how things worked and a vast knowledge of anything mechanical. He worked on cars, small engines, and appliances; he loved to “tinker” in his garage. He enjoyed all of nature, including being outdoors and feeding the birds and animals. He treasured family genealogy, history, and loved to talk about the past and share his knowledge and experience with others.
A service will be held at Pleasant View Baptist Church on Wednesday, June 28, 2023 at 11:00 am with a visitation one hour prior. Interment will follow at Pleasant View Baptist Church Cemetery. Arrangements are with Collins Funeral Home, Bassett, VA.
