The discipline and patriotism that he learned in the marines carried with him throughout his life with honor. Bill loved to fish and to be out on the water, enjoying his boat. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. 

He was an amazing father, grandfather, husband, brother, friend, marine. He was lovingly called “Pop Pop”. He was thee best father and “Pop Pop” anyone could ever ask for. He was known for his tremendous grit, strength, integrity, infectious smile, beautiful blue eyes, sense of humor, and genuine desire to do everything he could  for others. He had excellent craftsmanship. There was really nothing that he couldn’t do. He made beautiful fishing rods, he could take a car apart and put it back together, he was a talented artist, he was an excellent cook. He could build anything with his bare hands.

He had a great love for his family. He was well respected in his community and loved everyone and everyone loved him.  Everyone in the community has said there would not be a block big enough to fit a memorial celebration to celebrate him.
