Billy spent his career as an office manager in the industrial sector, where he was known for his hard work and dedication. His friendly demeanor and warm spirit made him a friend to many.
While we grieve the loss of Billy, we also celebrate the joy and laughter he brought into our lives. He will always be remembered for his kindness, wisdom, and the countless stories he shared with family and friends.
