SARATOGA SPRINGS — William (Billy) T. Flanders passed away on Friday, January 11, 2019. Born January 17, 1979, he was the son of Gail and the late Gilbert W. Flanders who passed away in 2004.
Billy was a man of many friends. If you knew him, you knew he was always good for a laugh, a funny joke and he made you feel special. Each of us shared an inside joke with him, probably more than one. Billy was a hard worker having spent the last 14 years working at Scottie’s truck stop in Wilton. He shared a lot of memories and jokes with everyone from co-workers to trucker drivers. They all loved him and his sense of humor. He thoroughly enjoyed sports too, especially the Knicks, Raiders, Yankees, and whatever team was playing against the Cowboys that week.
Billy took pride in displaying affection for all of his family. He was a great friend who was always there to listen, offer advice and if needed, play a competitive game of Phase 10. He was forever grateful to his mom and was her number one fan. Billy will forever be cherished in the lives of the loved ones he leaves behind. In addition to his mother, Gail R. Flanders, survivors include his two brothers Gilbert and Rodney Flanders and his sister Shirley Flanders; his 6 nieces and nephews and 7 great-nieces and nephews.
Family and friends are all welcome to a celebration of Billy’s life from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, January 20, 2019 at the Knights of Columbus, 50 Pine Road, Saratoga Springs.
Arrangements are under the direction of the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes of 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs (518-584-5373).
