A good man obtains favor from the Lord. Proverbs 12:2

He moved to Chattanooga to attend and graduate from Tennessee Temple College. He was a faithful member of Highland Park Baptist Church where he served as an usher for many years and was a member of the Men's Bible Class. He retired from Combustion Engineering where he worked at Plant 4.

Billy was a faithful husband and a wonderful loving father, grandfather and great grandfather. Billy loved to share his faith to assure people that "Jesus paid it all".
