On Sunday, June 14, 2015 Billie Pat Neff went to be with his Savior God. He leaves a great legacy of love for Christ, Country, and family. A legacy in which he built along with his dedicated wife, Mary Catherine “Kitty” Neff, over a 67 year marriage. Bill, age 89, was born November 21, 1925 to Emor Tracy Neff and Gertrude Elizabeth Satterwhite Neff in Dallas, Texas.
Bill served in the Army Air Corp from 1943 to 1946 as a tail gunner in the B24. He served in the Air Force Reserve from 1951 to 1969 when he retired from military service as Senior Master Sergeant. While serving in the Air Force Reserve, Bill worked with Texas Instruments as a Quality Control Engineer until his retirement from TI in 1987. Upon his retirement, he put all his energy into First Presbyterian Church of Irving. He volunteered as the Church Administrator in which he was involved in the business aspects of the church. He continued his service to the church and God until First Presbyterian Church dissolved, following which he was an active member at Woodhaven Presbyterian Church.
Additionally, Bill supported the Air Force Sergeants Association, troop leader for his son’s in Boy Scouts of America, and coached his daughter in Irving Girls Softball Association.
