As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker he served the mental health community for over 35 years with dedication and passion at Apalachee Center, Inc. where he touched countless lives of clients and co-wokers that became his extended family.
Billy was dedicated friend and father and an avid SCUBA diver for over 15 years and angler all his life. Of all his accomplishments, being a dedicated dad to his 3 children & dogs was his greatest.

Mother, Margaret Solberger, sister, Jane DeLung, brother, Jack Solberger, along with Doris Howell & the Brou family of Pensacola.

Looking at the video tribute of Billy brought back a lot of memories of when The Psych unit was on the top floor of the Goodwood building. He always had a smile & we missed him when he went to Apalachee after he got his Masters. Billy, you know you are missed; Emily you look so MUCH like your Mama. I visited her & Billy after Blair was born, as I did when Ryan came along. I think I was in Nursing School when Emily joined them. I have nothing but good memories from the Psych Center. RIP, my friend.
