10/24/25 - Message from the Billy:

I want to thank my kids, wife and parents for their continued loving support. There's been only a few times in my life that I knew I was blessed and this is one of them. I know I've gotten myself into a bit of a bind with all this cancer stuff these past 4 years. To everyone that has donated, you have my sincere gratitude and to those who are thinking about it, just know that I will pay your kindness forward to the next person fighting for their life as soon as I am able (a motto I live by).

Forever in your debt.

God Bless,

Billy

Who Is My Dad:

William (aka Billy) Pryor is the heart of our family and a beloved bus driver in our community. Known for his caring nature and strength, he’s the kind of person who makes sure others are taken care of before he cares for himself. Billy has been happily married to my mom for more than 33 years, he is a father of two wonderful adult children, a grandfather to seven, and a caregiver to his parents. He is a constant source of love and support for all of us. We need and want him around for many, many more years.

Recently my dad has been diagnosed with aggressive reoccurring throat cancer. Without urgent life saving surgery, his time with us will be cut short. The cancer is closing his airway and time is not on his side. The recovery will be long and he won’t be able to work during this time. Our family is doing everything we can, but the cost of surgery and continued medical necessities are overwhelming.

Over the past five years, my Dad has faced more than his share of cancer. This time (his 3rd time) the cancer will force the doctors to completely remove his voice box and surrounding lymph nodes.

My dad has always been there for others, and now we pray that our friends, family and community can rally around him in his time of need. He truly misses driving the bus and seeing the school kids play their sports. My prayer is that by next year, he can drive them once again, even if he has a mechanical voice to cheer with.

Thank you for your generosity & support helping us give Our "Superhero" more time with his family & grandkids who adore him. Every contribution will help cover his medical care.

Many thanks to anyone who will share this post and give my dad hope.

Thank you!!
