Billy Duane Duby was born October 22, 1949 in Pontiac, Michigan to Robert James Duby, Sr. and Wilma Imogene (Vancil) Duby.
Bill was a 1968 graduate of Waterford-Kettering High School and went to work for Pontiac Motors after graduation. Bill lived in

Duby (Mellissa) and two grandnephews, Jacob Miller, and Zennon Duby.
