Billy was born on September 11, 1954, in El Paso, Texas to William Almond and Reva Kirk.  He had been a long-time resident of the Central Texas area, graduating from Corsicana High School.  Billy, following in his father’s footsteps, was a natural born salesman.  He was a car salesman for many years with Dick Scott Ford in Mexia.  Billy never met a stranger and was always willing to lend a helping hand and made sure his people were okay.  He was very involved in the community and the children were dear to his heart.  He was a big supporter of many charities and activities in the community.  When he wasn’t working, he enjoyed farming at his place in Coolidge and fishing.  One of his favorite activities was riding around on the property on the John Deere Gator with his grandson. Billy was a member of the Hubbard Cowboy Church.
