During his life, Bill was literally a jack of all trades: a roofer, electrician, bail bondsman, taxi driver, tree trimmer and small business owner, ect. Bill had a wonderful sense of humor and his favorite pastime was visiting with his family and friends, bringing laughter and smiles to their faces. When you were with him, you knew you were loved and accepted just as God had made you. One of his great passions was being outdoors and fishing with his family and friends. Bill loved animals and none of his children can remember him without one of his beloved dogs in his lap. Bill was one of the strongest men his family had ever known and he instilled that strength into his family and friends.
