Dr. James R. Billak

I just found out this morning that my former colleague died. We worked together in the ER at the Medical Center in Beaver. I really enjoyed him. He was hilarious. He had a great outlook on life and that translated over into how he took care of patients in the ER. Because he always wore black scrubs, I gave him the nickname, "the man in Billak." He was a good guy. After he left Beaver and headed to Salem, I talked to him only once on the phone so I am kicking myself for not being more...

I´m so sorry for your loss. Dr Billak was my favorite ER Doctor. He will be missed greatly

I am sending my dearest condolences. I was fortunate to work with Dr B in the Salem ER for years. He will be forever missed

This was my last picture with Dr. Billak before i left Salem, he was the best and could always put a smile on your face. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, he sure will be missed!
