Bill lived in and around the Everett area for all of his life and graduated from Lake Steven's high school in 1955. He served in the Army and worked in construction for 25 years. He met Sue at the Hilltop Tavern and it "was love at first sight" according to him. One of their first dates was a fishing trip in a rowboat after a night out dancing. Sue had never been fishing before and thoroughly enjoyed slapping rainbow trout at his face. They laughed and had the best time!
They enjoyed taking their kids camping and fishing. They loved dancing to country music and were flawless together. They loved traveling all over the U.S. fishing, and sightseeing. They were married for 49 years, 7 months when she passed in 2013. Since then, he has longed to be with her so they can walk the streets of heaven together, holding hands, going fishing and dancing the night away.
Recently he said "they better look out up there in heaven, cause I'm coming to shuffle things up and have a good time. They're not going to get any rest!" He never lost his spunk or goodwill to the family he left behind.
He is loved by many and will be missed! We love you Dad!
We will be holding a get together at his home in Everett on March 27th at approximately 4:30 pm if you’d like to join us to say hi, give hugs and share your memories with us.
