Billy W. MILLS Jr., 58, of King and Queen County, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, October 15, 2009. Billy traveled extensively in his youth, but made his home in Virginia for the past 35 years. A realtor with Twin Rivers Realty, he was active in his community and throughout the Middle Peninsula. Billy was an avid sailor and music lover, and devoted much of his time to preserving the integrity of the York River watershed which he dearly loved. He served as director of the Mattaponi& Pamunkey Rivers Association for nearly a decade, and was instrumental in fighting the King William reservoir project, a long-term commitment that gave him the opportunity to meet and work with the finest of Virginia's conservation community. He currently served on the board of the Middle Peninsula Land Trust. He is the son of Peggy B. Mills and the late Billy W. Mills of Franklin, N.C., and is survived by his mother; his wife, Sally; two children whom he adored, Jake and Liz; brother, Jim Mills and wife, Pat, of Roosevelt, N.J.; sister, Patsy Carol Lent, husband, Jim, and their children, Kristen and Jimmy, of Ocala, Fla.

What is a Watershed Roundtable?

yrscb logo

A watershed roundtable consists of stakeholders who have a vested interest in their communities and are concerned about local water quality. The primary objective of a Roundtable is to develop relationships between diverse stakeholders such that they may collaborate with, learn from, and inform each other while effectively acting to address local water issues. A roundtable can be the driving force in the watershed, providing education, outreach and solutions to restore and protect water quality.
