He loved camping and fishing, which we were blessed to do for 45 years. He loved woodworking and building things. He had the best man cave you can imagine filled with antiques that he loved sharing stories about. Billy was definitely the strength of our family, he was always ready to lend a helping hand, listen to your problems or just dig in the dirt with Jaxon. Billy was in the window business since 1979 from manufacturing at BetterBilt, consulting, installing with Pella and Dale, and has had Smotherman Home Improvement since 1999. He was proud to be a Master Mason at Mars Hill Lodge, Shriner, and member of Murfreesboro 363 OES. You will be in our hearts forever . You were our rock.
