KNOXVILLE - He was the owner of Classic Cars, and had a passion for restored classic cars. He was a storyteller, a Shriner, a Mason, involved with KPD and KCSO, retired from Norfolk Southern and served in the Military. An all-around great guy and he will be missed. He is preceded in death by the love of his life Barbara (Bobbie), his mother Rubye, father William Sr. (Boyd), brothers Ronnie, Jerry, David (Mitzi), his sisters Joyce (Jim), and Sherree (Tim). He is survived by his sister Karen (Terry), and many loving nieces, nephew and many cousins. Per his wishes, there will be no service.

We have had the privilege of being Mr Bill's neighbors for the last 8.5 years. He has been such a kind, loving man to my husband,myself and our babies. This loss has been incredibly hard on us. If my youngest son(now 5) saw Bill outside he would take off running just to give him the biggest hug he could, and if Mr Bill saw him coming he would just open his arms up so big for Liam to run into, My favorite memory We love you Mr Bill thank you for all of the love you have shared with us. Sending so much love to his family and friends

I have known Bill since our childhood days in Lincoln Park. Close to 80 years. He was a good friend for all those years . I knew Bill and his brother Jerry ( Fats) all of our years through school. After Bills wife died he lived a lonely life. He has no children. He had a passion for classic cars and still had probably 16 stored in Powell. He outlived all his family and will be missed by his many friends. My thoughts and prayers are with my friend Bill. God bless you.

Great memories of a truly good man- my Cousin Jr. We shared stories about our parents, relived our fun as kids, and shared our mutual love for the Tennessee Vols. Buddy, I will miss you until we meet again. Remember the Byrd family hymn - I´ll Fly Away. See you later ! Love, Cousin Linda
