Billy has been a husband to his wonderful wife for 41 years, they have three children (Shawn, Andrea, and Adam) and six grandchildren. As I am hearing back in the day Billy was quit the party animal. However, now that hes all grown up he lives for his children and now especially for his grandchildren. Seeing it first hand I can say that he is a spectacular Grandad and they just adore him.
Billy worked for Sylvania for 30 years, now he has been self-employed for the past 15. He is the proud owner of “Sweet Williams Garden Center” and “Prentiss and Sons Landscaping Design”, which is located at 141 Pine St in Danvers. They are a very close knit family and you will always find a few children’s smiling faces running with laughter through the beautiful flowers at the garden center. They have made many areas in Danversjust stunning with their good eye and gorgeous plants. Stop on buy and pick some up for your yard while the supplies last.
Billy has been with the Danvers Fun Run since the run started on November 28th 2007, which he came in first with a time of 20:22. He has been running for 30 years, he has participated in a total of 43 marathons with 15 of those being the Boston. The last race he ran was “Bostons Run To Remember”, which was and half marathon, 13.1 miles. Out of 3,500 people he finished 1st in his age group with a time of 1:39:19. Astounding job Billy! He is also a member of the “Wicked Running Club”, now those are some fast guys! He was brought into that group by, who is also pretty speedy, his brother-in-law Billy Shea. Both of which just ran the Boston Marathon this year with times of, Prentiss 3:53:07 and Shea 3:58:33.
Billy is a great role model for the young runners, I wish I was in half the shape he is!
