Billy and Kitty did not have children; but always considered and treated Shelley, Stacey, Beth and Camryn as their own.

Billy graduated from Great Mills High School in 1966 and served in the United States Army, stationed in Germany. He enjoyed telling the stories of his Army life and his travels. He was a waterman all his life and the owner and operator of Feldman’s Marine Railways from 1972 until having to retire due to poor health. Billy was a fun loving and hard working man dedicated to those closest to him. He loved the water, but more than anything he loved his wife. Billy always had a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face that will be greatly missed.
