Billy was born February 19, 1948 in Archie, MO to Junior and Carilla (Courtney) Sisk. He chose to spend his final moments in the very home he was born and raised. Billy was also supported by his brother Jim’s little dog, Baby, whom Billy renamed Duke. Billy graduated from Archie High School in 1966. He enjoyed playing baseball, riding motorcycles and drinking beer with his friends. Billy was such a talented baseball player; he made the team as freshman. He loved his family and even though he never had children he accumulated a lot of nieces and nephews that thought the world of him. He enjoyed going to the Tavern, local bars, and listening to good old country music, especially Patsy Cline.

Billy was drafted into the Army where he served in the Vietnam War. After serving our country he returned to Archie, where he began his career as a bricklayer. He soon became a master brick Mason where he created most of the beautiful fireplaces in the Adrian and Archie area.
