We had so much to look forward to and had settled into a life he absolutely loved in the small town of his birth, Sandpoint, Idaho.

He found, on a routine visit to the VA, that he had calcified asbestos in both lungs. The VA assured us there was nothing to be alarmed about; but, less than two years after the discovery my husband was dead from mesothelioma.

The illness took a viable, relatively young and energetic man and turned him into a contorted shell unlike the man we all knew, loved and respected. This illness left me with a feeling of helplessness. The only thing I could do was to stay at his bedside and alert the doctors and nursing staff when his pain was not somewhat under control.

Even now, some four years later, that sight haunts my every thought of him. My children by a previous marriage, whom he raised, are likewise devastated.

He was born in Borger, TX, in 1929. He moved to Calif. as a youth and where he remained until enlisting in the Navy in 1948. During his career, he served on the USS Tucson, Mansfield, O'Brien, Quincey, Northhampton and subs USS Cobbler and Cutlass. He retired in 1968 with 20 years of service.

It was early in 1950 while stationed at Bremerton that he met and married his life-long love, who shared his same first name, Billie. Their same first names provided many opportunities for chuckles and confusion over their 56 years of marriage. His second career of his youth's dreams was a long-haul truck driver. He retired from Teamsters years later. In Dec 1988, they moved back to Bremerton.

He had a hobby of building and flying radio controlled airplanes. He loved dining out, being a very familiar face to local stablishments. His personality was bright and fun. He'd put a smile on people's faces with his comical teasing and heartfelt concern causing them to remember him well.

He is survived by his wife, Billie (Cole), his daughter Jacqui and Tom (Armstrong), his son Jeff Rhoten, three grandchildren, Melissa and Joe (Cobb), Christina (Armstrong) and Jordan Rhoten with 4 great-granddaughters. Preceeding him in death was his son David.

Military Honor Services will be Friday the 26th, 2:15 p.m. at Tahoma National Cemetary, Covington, Wa.

Following his service at at 6 p.m., please share in a Celebration of his life at the American Legion Hall, Post No. 149 on Kitsap Way in Bremerton.
