Billy had a servant heart that was shown through his devotion to his wife, family, and community. His greatest joy in life was spending time with his wife of 58 years and raising their loving son. Always a giver and provider, he blessed his family with a wonderful place to call home. His servant leadership went well beyond his family into his community work and neighborly love.

He enjoyed serving as a member and national representative for Woodmen Life.

Billy loved God, his family and our country. As a Vietnam veteran, he proudly served in the United States Army. Having a dedication to work, he retired as an accountant from CP&L after 41 years.
