Before retiring he was a general contractor and a member of Alamance County Homebuilders Association.

Daddy loved to work in woodshop and garden. His favorite pass time was sitting in his swing waving at his neighbors as they drove by. We will miss him greatly.

Four grandchildren: Ritchie Councilman, Kelly Councilman, Juston Billings (Shannon), and Chad Billings (Brittany). Two precious great granddaughters: Kayli Ann and Brystol Grace Billings.
