Billy worked his entire life in the building and construction industry. At age 14 he built his first set of cabinets, and he eventually went on to establish several successful businesses as a realtor, general contractor, and developer. He was blessed with success in all of his endeavors and took pleasure in finding new ventures, even in his retirement.

Billy was well-known in the community; he served as President of the Cartersville Little League for 5 years, served in the Air Force Reserves, and was a faithful member of Pine Grove Baptist Church and follower of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
