His radio opening was, "It is my aim to share with you things on this radio program that God shares with me, hopefully things that you will find new and refreshing as we dig a little deeper into God's Word. The heart of Billy was to learn and to explore the marvels of his Lord and Savior. He loved to preach and was faithful to preach the Word of God. His favorite quote was "The Father is Sovereign, He knows what is GOOD, RIGHT and BEST. Billy went to be with the Lord on Sunday, August 7, 2005.
