Billie, as he was loved and known by everyone, graduated from the 8th grade at the Murray Country School west of Grassy Butte, ND.

As member of the TR Medora foundation, Billie shared his love of the Medora musical by being the first sponsor for Kids Day in Medora, where children attend the musical for free. Billie loved to sing and he drove many miles to sing with the Badlanders Barber Shop Chorus. We will all miss his famous handshake.
