Billy Joe was a proud alumnus of Southwood High School and later dedicated many years to the Heartland Career Center, where he contributed significantly to the vocational program and was the head of maintenance. 

His love and allegiance were for the Wabash Apostolic Church, where his family are active members. 

Billy Joe had a rich and diverse range of hobbies. He was a respected former ISHAA official for football and basketball, an avid fisherman, and a talented singer. He enjoyed spending quality time with his family, taking relaxing country drives, and sharing his love for the outdoors and music with friends and family.  But most of all he had the BEST stories!
