Billy attended and played football at Holt High School from 1982 to 1984 under the direction of Coach Woody Clements. He always loved Holt High and was often quoted as saying he was made of iron and bled purple. He also loved Alabama football, the Atlanta Braves, Elvis Presley, and cooking. His idea of a good time was hanging out with friends “grilling and chilling”. He was the life of the party and no get-together will ever be the same without him, but his friends have many, many stories of him that will keep him forever alive. To know Billy was to love him, and he was definitely loved.
