Billy loved sports of every kind, but he especially loved Major Leage Baseball and his NY Yankees. He also loved watching the NFL and his favorite teams the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49’ers. He loved to tease his family members when their favorite teams were not doing well. He would watch any kind of sport from women’s softball to corn hole tournaments. He loved to fish as well and taught all his children how.
Billy was a wonderful husband and father, never had a bad word to say about anyone and never complained about anything. He will be profoundly missed by his loved ones and all who knew him.
