Holt Bros Cat mechanic recently passed.
Billy was the guy we called at home when we needed advice or when we needed his skills to fix our Cats.
He was a field mechanic.His son Mark followed his dad and also was a Cat field mechanic with Holt.Sadly Mark passed several years ago.Mark used to give advice on here.Don't remember what name he used.
Maybe some of you had Billy work on something for you.
He was quite the story teller too.

Sorry to learn of his passing. Like many of the old school wrench guys, we are losing the few that kept everyone up and running. JM
That’s a touching remembrance. It sounds like Billy was more than just a skilled mechanic — he was a trusted friend, mentor, and storyteller whose presence left a mark on everyone around him. The fact that people would call him at home for advice speaks volumes about his generosity and dedication. And with his son Mark following in his footsteps, their family clearly carried a strong tradition of service and expertise.
