Billy enjoyed fishing, carpentry, playing his guitar and often collected Native American-inspired recipes. He was known for his jokes and his quick-to-laugh personality. Billy was a very strong believer in his Native ways & traditions and took great pride passing this cultural knowledge onto his daughter.
