l grew up with Billy in Birdsview we later worked in Shake mills together. He had the greatest since of humor he could always make me laugh . l remember him wearing a T-shirt to work that had a monopoly board on the back it said go straight to hell do not pass go do not collect 200:00. We all got a good laugh out of that! He was a good man and I will miss him.
Billy had a sense of humor I just loved. My favorite story of his is when Ernie Leopard AKA Poopy and Billy were cruising along in Lake Shannon in a small pram. They were tooling along at a good clip when they hit a snag and ripped the motor off the transom. Billy was holding on to the tiller of the still running motor. When he finally had to let go, the fuel tank in the front bow had the fuel line attached. Of course it flew by Poopy in the bow and hit Billy in the chest before being pulled over and under the water, chasing the motor to the bottom. It was immediately quiet on the lake, just for a moment, then the fuel tank broke the surface like a submarine. I enjoyed his funny stories and I enjoyed fishing with him. I’m going to miss Billy.
