Billy formerly worked for Carl Smith Pipeline and the State Conservation Commission in wildlife and forestry programs. He retired in 1988 with over 30 years as a mill operator at Kaiser Aluminum.
Billy was a proud veteran of the U.S. Army, serving in the waning days of WW-II. He served stints in France and Germany and guarded German POWs during their repatriation. Originally a scout in the Big Red One, he was reassigned to transportation services as hostilities concluded.
He was known as a loving husband, father and grandfather. He was an avid outdoorsman and hunter and coon hunted competitively, capturing many awards over the years. He and his wife of 40 years, Frances, were also NASCAR fans, specifically Dale Jr.

He also leaves 22 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren and "Pickles", a Jack Russell that is the first "in-house" dog he ever owned.
In addition to his parents, Billy was preceded in death by a sister, Olive Angus and an infant brother, Dennis Angus.
