Billy was selfless, always taking care of others and putting them before himself. He loved kids. He was an avid fisherman and baseball fanatic. He was a huge Cincinnati Bengals and Reds fan. He was the best mechanic ever :) Everyone was a friend to Billy. He loved making people laugh and playing pranks on them.
