Bill loved to listen to his music, to garden and to bake pies. If he had ever entered the country baking contest, he would have won the blue ribbon without a doubt! The most notable thing about Bill was his character. He was both, a man of his word and a man of integrity. He took pride in his family, first and foremost, through thick and thin he was always there for them. No one ever doubted how deeply he loved them.
The mold was broken when Bill was born; his family and friends will love and remember him forever…   Thank you Dad and Grandpa! We will miss you!!
