The Family of Billy Ray Godwin requests the PGR to stand and participate in his Service and accompany them to Billy Ray Godwin final resting place. We are honor to do so.
Billy Ray Godwin served during 1955-1957. Went in at Wichita Kansas as an ADF or ADJ for the years he served, it equivalent to a E-2 in the Navy. No longer uses the other abbreviations. This is what got Billy Ray Godwin his job at Lockheed.
Bill Worked for Lockheed for 35 years as a Flight Test Mechanic. on projects that are now declassified The L-1011 / U2 / SR71 just to name a few. Skunk Works. Bill received his training in the Navy. Bill retired from Lockheed in October of 1996.
Bill had a great love for Motorcycles his passion was in the dirt. Bill could be found on every Sunday riding with his buddies and family out by Bean Canyon. That’s where he got his Nickname Wild Bill. He would say give it more throttle and everything will work itself out.
