Billy was born to Felix and Ruth Ione (Allman) Vick, both Killeen natives, and lived here for his entire life.

He graduated from Killeen High school and attended Business College in Houston. He and his wife Joann had been married 47 years.

Billy retired from the Department of Defense after more than three decades of service. Billy's hobbies included Amateur Radio Operation (HAM Radio). He was a major contributor to the first radio repeater built in Killeen.

Billy enjoyed computers, keeping up on current events and spending time with the family cats Lily, Maggie and Fresco.
