I had the privilege of working with Billy for the last 18 years. Billy was a big help, and encouragement to me. He was always ready to help, and never complained and always had kind words for everyone around him. He will be greatly missed by everyone that worked with him at Lancer. Also he loved to tell stories about the things that he had done with his grandson. Kathy and family, me and my family will be praying for you all.
Chris our prayers are with y’all
My friendship with Billy spans 50 years or more. In school together we were close at times. Our paths separated but I always loved him and thought of our friendship often. He was always concerned about others . He loved his family and is reunited with those who have gone on before him. May God bless his family and cradle them in His loving arms in their grief and in the days to come. We love you. Bruce and Kim Williams
My thoughts and prayers are with the family Billy was a great man and will be missed.

Loss of another first cousin in less than 2 months leaves a big hole in my heart ♥️ We had many fun times growing up ✝️Love and prayers for Kathy and family during this very difficult time. Praying God’s peace for each of you 💙🙏✝️🎶

Kathy, Joshua and Joseph,
Please accept our condolences for your loss. Well, there’s no greater 1st cousin in all the world than Billy Wallace. On August 24, 1968 on Saturday night Billy invited me to a revival meeting at Beulah Baptist Church where I came to know the Lord as my personal Savior. A few years later God called me to preach the Gospel. After being licensed and graduating from Tennessee Temple University I was ordained into the ministry. And for 45 years I have tried, by God’s grace,to remain faithful to my calling. I have ministered in 32 states and 3 different countries. From preaching in jails & prisons, nursing homes & senior centers, youth and revival meetings, serving as youth pastor and Senior Pastor, Christian broadcaster and associate pastor, songleader and school teacher. Presently I am working full time as an AL licensed funeral director, pastoring a church, keeping up with additional speaking engagements, trying to be a good husband (the last 46 years),a great Dad (the last 43 years),an encouraging father in law (the last 20 years), a happy “Pappy” to 5, (the last 17 years) and thanks to your dear Billy, a Christian (the last 53 years). Thank you. Andrew brought his brother Peter to Christ and my first cousin Billy brought this lost teenager to church where he met Christ. My few heavenly rewards will be no match for my “Andrew Brother” Billy Wallace, that he has already received. Kathy, please let your son Joshua know what a great dad he had, and Joseph for what a special grandad he had. I am forever indebted to your loved one, and God only knows where I’d be had it not been for his courage and kindness. Please know you are in our prayers and forever remain in our heart.
Rev. L. Dale Butler
From one grateful man
There is no greater person or friend than Billy. Worked with him at Springs. He was really a good employee & worked hard. He always mentioned Kathy, his son & grandson when I would talk to him. Our loss is Heavens gain.
Got to know Billy in High School. He was a great guy and friend.
Was a good humble person and sense of humor.
