While at Choctaw high, I took every single class that Mr Uselton offered. He was such a funny, and enthusiastic teacher. Any one who saw him speaking knew his passion for the subject, and even though I graduated in 2008, I still talk and think about him regularly. Truly an inspiration.

I’m so sad to hear of Mr. Uselton’s passing. He was the best history teacher and is one of the reasons I became a history teacher myself. He will be missed!

Would like to send my condolences to the family of the late and great Mr. Uselton. Saddens me even writing this. However this man went above and beyond teaching. Not only making you interested in his course but making it alive! He will be missed as he is loved. A great man to all who have encountered his presence. I would like to say thank you soulfully because you gave me wealth in heart and knowledge to be appreciative of a lot! This isn’t goodbye but a see you soon! ❤️

He loved black and white movies, he would tell me about settling in with a bowl of dried dates and finding a movie he hadn't seen before and we'd chat about it. He got me into so many old movies but the dried dates never quite stuck!

God Speed Mr Uselton. ... Best teacher! I'll never forget the summer after graduation when you helped me write that grant over WWII pilots....your library of knowledge was like none other, your love of useless facts, your willingness to selflessly give to your students.... You made this world a better place. I'm better because I knew you. Thank you, sir! ❤️

Truly the best teacher that I ever had. I did not even know I liked history until I took his class. Always funny and charismatic. I always thought his classes went by too fast. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

I'm so sorry for your loss. We weren't real close but I do remember hanging out at the lake when we were young.

Truly the best teacher in all things..absolutely will be missed. He reached out to the kids that nobody cared about and pulled them into his world of learning and wonder💝

Bill and I were neighbors and friends throughout Jr. High & High School. I will always remember his sense of humor the most. He was the “king” of sarcasm, quick wit and put-downs. It became somewhat of a competition between us, but I was clearly out of is league.
Even in HS his love of history was evident. He was an authority on WWII and Hitler. He was amazingly smart. You could name any country on the globe and he could tell you the capital, and every other country that it shared a border with. He was a great chess player and a magnificent cheater at Monopoly.
We didn’t stay in touch in later years but I miss him and his friendship. He is a big part of MY personal history.
My prayers are with his family and other friends who knew and loved him. He will be missed.
RIP my friend. I know we’ll meet again.

I will remember Billy as a sweet guy with a big heart. We had one of the best teachers, Mr. Murphy, reading the students comments sounds like Billy learned well from him. Billy will be missed and I am praying for his family and friends.
