Although he had a disability, Billy accomplished much during his life. He was a lifetime member of the South Creek Volunteer Fire Department with 58 years of membership. Volunteering as a fire fighter and helping with building maintenance brought him great pleasure. He spent hundreds of hours preparing the hall for weekly Bingo games when he was younger and physically able. Billy and his mother enjoyed many years of camping at Bucktail Campgrounds in Mansfield, Pa., where he helped with activities there. In his younger years he spent time in the community helping at Sheddens Wholesale & Auction Barn, and Pete Owens Gas Station in Fassett. He found great pleasure being with his grandparents on their beef farm and having all family members together and especially relaxing on the banks of south creek with his fishing pole. He enjoyed processing meat with his father, grandfather, and brother. Billy enjoyed music and dancing. He was treasured by his community and was a friend to all.
