You would find Bill present at every event, performance and of course, under the stadium lights at every high school and college game cheering on his son or daughter.
Bill would entertain all the neighborhood kids with the best summer time campfires and pool parties, being considered a second dad to many of his children’s friends, even to this day.
He was the best chauffeur in the famous gold mini-van transporting his daughter and her friends wherever they requested.
Bill was an avid outdoorsman spending quality time with his son hunting and fishing at their camp.
