Billy would want everyone to know how much he enjoyed working there & getting to know so many wonderful people. We will remember Billy by his caring & respectable nature. His smile & contagious laugh. He was the best husband & father always providing for his family. He was a wonderful son drinking coffee on the back porch in the mornings with his mom while watching the sunrise together. Billy was the family & friend we should all strive to be in life. He lived his life to the fullest and loved to shoot his bow, sing & play the air guitar, cookout while watching the Broncos or Nascar, wear a tie, and wear his cowboy hat & boots. Billy loved the Lord & his favorite verse was Phillipians 4:6-7. Billy's funeral will be held on Tuesday, January 21, 2014 at Getz Funeral Home at 2:00 pm with Senior Pastor Douglas L. Coyle, Ph.D. of Grace Covenant Church officiating. Burial will follow at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens Cemetery. In lieu of flowers please make a donation in Billy's name at pancan.org.
