He was a musician. Ever wonder how Billy got started playing the drums? Well, when he was a young boy he fell carrying a glass jug. The jug shattered and the glass shards he fell on severally cut one of his wrists. In order to regain the use of his hand, the doctor recommended several physical therapies. One of those therapies was playing the drums, thus launching his musical career. Billy played for Special Events, Churches and Clubs in Huntington and the Tri-State area. There will be a graveside funeral service for Billy on Friday April 8 at noon at White Chapel Memorial Gardens, Barboursville, conducted by Pastor Charles Vance. Billy's friends, Mark Stark, Tykie Stover, Randy Ash, Chris Altizer, Buddy McCoy, Scott Martin, Anthony Cremeans and Bain Creasy, will be his honorary pallbearers.
