A 1966 graduate of Scranton Technical School, Billy pursued a career that combined his natural flair for beauty with his deep appreciation for design. He spent over two decades living in New York City, where he established himself as a highly sought-after floral designer.

Billy took immense pride in his work and was deeply gratified by the admiration it received.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Billy was known for his impeccable taste and boundless creativity. After returning to Wayne County later in life, he fulfilled a lifelong dream by opening Swan Antiques—a charming country shop that reflected his passion for antiques and interior design. His home and garden were extensions of his artistic spirit: with greenery from his extensive plant collection and curated with vintage treasures. His garden was especially beloved by those who visited.

Billy’s interests extended beyond design. He had a deep affection for Old Hollywood MGM movie classics . He & his partner loved going to garden centers, estate sales & antiquing on the weekends. Above all, he loved animals, the outdoors & nature.
His Catholic faith remained an important part of his life throughout the years.

He is survived by his partner Richard of 61 years. Cousin, Karen Slaughter; Nieces & nephews; Mary Alice Nowinski, Gloria Lance, SheriAnn Cherkoski, Mark Wysocki, John Lucas, Aimee Long and Nadine Ferrario. Not to mention many great nieces & nephews he was so proud of.
