Billy Joe Alcorn was born on March 2, 1951 in Judd Hill, Arkansas to the late James and Josephine Alcorn.

Billy was the grill master for a fundraisers for bus trips for family reunions, picnics in the park, you name it. Billy was in charge of the grill.

He never had to tell the story about the big ones that got away, because the big ones ended in a fish fry for the family.

He cherished the time he had with his nieces and nephews at freedom worship center. He knew that they would all be there, it was their family gathering. The calls from Donald were so special to him and he always looked forward to them.
