Billy was proud graduate of Bay High School, where his flair for fashion earned him the title of "Mr. Best Dressed" in the Class of 1979. Billy dedicated an impressive 43 years of his professional life to Mississippi Coast Supply. A devoted member of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, Billy’s spirit of faith was central to his life. He was part of the Cursillo 158 group and enjoyed the deep connections formed within his church community. He cherished moments spent fishing, walking the beach, and feeding seagulls. A devout supporter of the New Orleans Saints, he was always ready to cheer for his team. His love of rock n' roll music—particularly the louder, the better—was a defining characteristic.
