My thoughts and prayers go out to family and business associates of a true friend. Rest in peace Bear.

Billy and me started out as business partners and we ended up great friends . Billy and Millie, along with Jennifer and Amy were like our surrogate family while we lived on the OBX. He was the most honest and respected people I have ever met. From Buffett concerts to cruises you could always count on Billy to have a good time! I will miss him a lot. The stock for Dewars Scotch” took a big hit! Billy I know you are looking down on is with a glass in hand right now!

I am so sorry to hear of Billy’s death. He was a good man and will surely be missed.
God Bless Your Family, and may he give you peace in this time of sorrow.

I am so sorry to hear of Billy’s death…He was a sweet person and always had a friendly smile. I have not seen him in years but in high school he was always so nice and also when I saw him at the beach he always had a kind word. Have not been active in real estate lately so have not seen him for awhile.

When he was working at Bear Drugs he would deliver medicine to my mother who lived by herself on Skyline Drive in Southern Shores. She didn’t drive and was by herself during the week. I thought that was really nice since he had to get home to his family but went out of his way to help her.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family…He will surely be missed.

Sincerely,
Betty Medlock

It is difficult to find success combined with caring for others, and Billy was a rare treasure to have both.

Heartfelt condolences to Billy’s family, friends, and associates. Billy’s kindness and fair play as he, Ruby, and Tim prepared the house I happily live in when I was a new tenant were just the start. I couldn’t ask for a better landlord or experience in renting. He will be missed by many; his humor and good will leave a lasting impression and effect on the communities and among those he helped.

Millie, I am devastated by this news and I am so sorry for your loss. We go back along way with you and your immediate family, the children and Joanne and on. My memories go way back. My thoughts are with all of you I will miss that laugh. With much love,BETSY DAWSON

Millie and Family,

We will all miss Billy enormously. Billy was a big help to our family over the years, and will always be appreciated. I enjoyed working with Billy and enjoyed his passion for “just one more deal”. Most of what we did together was work, but he always laced every discussion with great stories, recollections and gems of wisdom.

Please accept our sincere condolences.

Simply said I am a better person because I knew him. Many years of working together, and I can not remember ever having a cross word with him or a disagreement that wasn’t resolved amiably. A rare quality and a rare man. I will think of him often and fondly.

We will miss Billy, we appreciated his support and confidence over the years. Always a voice of reason in a world that is often unreasonable.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family

Condolences from the Seaside Management Team

Billy or Bear as we called him in school. Many fond memories of him in our school years. He will be missed by so many people. Lifting the family up in prayer during this sad time of sorrow. Miss Pauline and my Mother, Ruby Banks, were also best friends. Hugs to all.

Well where do I begin . My friend Russ and I met Billy in 1993 by an introduction from Bobby Harrell. We were looking for business partner and found a life long friend. Through ups and downs our friendship never waivered.
Through 20 years he was mentor and a true and loyal friend, I love his family as though were mine. Billy only you know our conversations thanks for your trust and love

Millie, Billy was a high school classmate of mine.I remember his smile, always happy. Several years ago I told Hal Chsppell about our being in being in high school together. My deepest sympathies to you and his family.

Although it’s been a few years; we recently heard this tragic news. And we are truly saddened. The Roughtons purchased our beachfront home and attached cottage back in 2004 on MP16.5 (Jam Jr.). Billy was so happy to be getting exactly what his wife wanted. It was a pleasant and memorable transaction. We are sorry for your loss, Mrs Roughton. The Stefans, Dave and Jackie
