Billy Pollard

Billy Ray Pollard, "Borden Bill", 84, of Oklahoma City went to be with the Lord on January 23, 2018. He was born October 19, 1933 in Tipton, Oklahoma . He graduated from Frederick High School in 1951. Shortly after graduation he married his high school sweetheart Peggy Joyce Wilson and began a 66 year marriage.
With his contagious smile and loving personality, he happily gave more than he received and made friends with everyone he met. He faced his medical challenges with strength, determination, and joy that astounded and inspired everyone who witnessed his daily victories.
Billy worked on road construction building highways all over Oklahoma while he and Peggy pulled a small travel trailer. They later moved to Oklahoma City and he started work at Borden's Milk Company. In 1969 he purchased the Borden milk distributor route in Perry, Oklahoma and soon became loved as "Borden Bill". Many Perry kids remember chasing down the truck for a free ice cream bar and a ride in the milk truck. He continued home delivery to his cherished customers until 1990. The couple moved to Oklahoma City and managed Garden Gate Condominiums. In 2016, he and Peggy went to work for Mid State Management. Opening and managing the 408 storage units for the U-Stor Meridian location for 20 years. This is where he taught his grandchildren how to drive a golf cart and the love of dumpster diving. Billy was the hardest worker you would ever meet, working until his stroke at 82 years old. Anyone who spent time with Bill was charmed by his beaming smile and his easy, genuine laugh and a good joke. Billy could often be found fixing or building something as he was a jack of all trades. Family and time spent with them was the most important in Billy's life.
