He loved spending time with family and went on many family camping trips and trips to Boston to watch the Red Sox’s games. Every year since 1985 he hosted an event we called, Billy’s Backyard Barbecue where a horseshoe tournament was played. A winners trophy and a chump trophy for the losers became the tradition. In the later years, we switched to cornhole which was a game he enjoyed playing with family. Every year he hosted a Super Bowl get together, as he was a fan of the Patriots.
He was a quiet steady presence, and he will be missed by his loved ones.
