Billy Joe Harvell lost his battle with kidney and heart disease on August 3, 2010. He was born November 6, 1931 in Collin County and attended McKinney schools. At the age of 18 he joined the Navy and served during the Korean War aboard the LST975. Upon discharge from the Navy, he worked at the Titche-Goettinger department store in downtown Dallas, working there 17 years.

At his retirement in 1994, he was in charge of inspecting and licensing residential hotels and rooming and boarding houses. In 1979, the family moved to Lucas, TX, just a few miles from where Bill was born.
