Billy enjoyed watching any kind of motor sports, including stock car racing, monster trucks, motocross, speedboats; actually anything that had a motor and could go fast! Billy was an avid NASCAR enthusiast and yes folks, his favorite driver was Jeff Gordon. Billy had miracle hands when it came to fixing anything. Billy could build or re-build practically anything with a motor and he was a wonderful handy man to have around the house. He also enjoyed watching college football and spending time outdoors, and occasionally hunting, when his wife let him.
