"Billy Westmoreland Deceased"
Billy Westmoreland, my dear friend and legendary smallmouth fisherman passed away five minutes until Midnight Sept. 29th, 2002. Billy had suffered a seizure in his home prior to the weekend and never regained conciousness. He will be surely missed. Latest arrangement information can be obtained by contacting Uptons Funeral Home, 307 West Lake Ave. Celina Tennessee 931-243-3164
It was a privilege and honor to have known him, to have shared our fishing time together and to have written his television themesong along with Fred Carter Jr. I have fond memories of writing the song in his living room in Celina back in the 80's.
I'll share the lyrics with everyone as follows. For my dear friend, Billy.
