QUEENSBURY--- William "Billy" J. Frye, 69, a long-time resident of Warrensburg, and more recently of Queensbury passed away at Kingston Hospital on Tuesday, March 30, 2021.

Born August 12, 1951 in Glens Falls, he was the son of Verna (Baker) Springer, and the late William "Hurley" Frye.

While Billy attended Warrensburg High School, he played in a band called "The Rejects" as a drummer and singer, specializing in the song, Wipeout, as a drum solo. He attended a Christian church in St Petersburg, Florida, where he was a Youth Group leader and bus driver. After moving back to the North Country, he was self-employed as an exceptional drywall hanger and taper for various companies.

Baker, one of his favorite fishing buddies; and many dear friends, notably, Donnie and Steve Rafferty who were like brothers.
