WILLIAM ALLEN AYCOCK

With great sadness, we announce the passing away of William Allen (Billy) 
Aycock on September 8, 2015, following a brave attempt to recover from a spinal 
cord injury sustained in a fall in 2013. He was 64.

Billy, a resident of Lafayette, grew up in Monroe, LA, and graduated from 
Neville High School with the proud class of 1970. Billy attended Northeast 
Louisiana University in Monroe and Louisiana State University. He was a diehard 
and fervent Tiger's fan.

He truly loved his career in the petrochemical industry which spanned forty 
years. His employers included WKM Valve Company, Parker Industries, FIP Inc. 
and Drake Oilfield Supply. Billy was a supreme horseman, draftsman, and oil 
drilling tool inventor, but most of all a true friend to all who knew him. His 
great appreciation of music brought him to the dancehalls of South Louisiana, 
the Jazz Festival and many other venues. Billy went to great lengths throughout 
his lifetime to support a friend in need or to lend a hand to his Krewe.

He was preceded in death by his parents, William B. and Zelma Williams Aycock.

We will miss his great smile and gentle demeanor. We could always count on 
Billy to do the right thing. He never harmed a soul and sure helped a lot of 
people. The world could use more people like Billy Aycock.

As his final gesture of generosity, Billy donated his body to LSU Medical 
School of Science and his assets to St. Jude's Children Hospital. We miss and 
salute our dear friend.

A private memorial service and celebration will be held at a later date. 
Donations in his memory can be made to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, 
501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
