Charley,
Did Billy live near Loris, SC or Wilmington, NC for awhile?
I knew a Billy Childress in the sixties and seventies but we lost touch over the years.

Billy Childress
So sorry to learn of Billy's passing. This good family has lost several members in the past few years. Billy was from Pelzer, SC and was a close friend of Joe Turner who plays steel for the Malpass Brothers. He would often attend the Southern Steel Convention when it was being held in Saluda, SC. Rest in Peace, Billy.
