Billy was a true gentleman, great guitar player, and a friend to so many. Tommy loved Billy like a brother, and jumped at any opportunity to play Billy’s favorite Western Swing music anytime he called. He received countless awards over the years. One thing was quite evident whenever you talked to Billy - His greatest award in life was that of family patriarch.
RIP “WADâ€
â¤ï¸
Billy with his daughter, Ginger
