Note: Billy was in the RAF as a catering clerk for 18 years (including 3national service) serving in Cyprus and Aden during crisis years. On leaving the RAF in 1974 he did several jobs before going back to Rosyth Dockyard where he had done his apprenticeship as a shipwright. He eventually accepted severence payment in 1985 by which time Billy had worked his way up to a PTO2 level as an estimater. He decided to follow his inclinations and try something new, training as a plaster technicion. This was the job he loved working with patients. Billy was a self educated man who had great interest in current affairs, politics, history and everything around him. He was a semi professional photographer who drove his wife daft when he turned the hall cupboard into his dark room. He appreciated music and taught himself to play the keyboard. Billy also wrote poetry, some of which he managed to get published. He was also writing a book on past Inverkeithing when he died of a massive stroke at the age of 62.
