William (Bill) Billy B Faulkner Jr

Well I lost my best friend, so I want to tell you a little about Bill Faulkner. Bill and I married in 1987, I had gone to high school with Bill and then later in life we met again and fell in love. Bill loved life; he was a roofer when we got married. He worked hard, no matter how bad he felt; he got up and went to work. After working as a roofer for about 15 years he got a job as a quality control manager for RL Campbell, where he fell in love with his job. Bill had two sons that meant the world to him and the boys felt the same way. Bill also had a love for the civil war; he could tell you anything and everything about that era. He loved it when it was sent to Pennsylvania to work, that way on the weekends he could go to Gettysburg and other surrounding parks and sit with his books and read. Bill also had a hidden talent he could cook, boy could he cook! He would sit for hours watching the food network channel and then go in the kitchen and cook up a storm. I always told him he was in the wrong business; he should have been a chef. Bill was a wonderful man, he loved life, he loved the outdoors and fishing, and he loved his family and friends. He was the best provider always making sure his family was taken care of. Even as sick as he became, he never complained, always saying “I’m okay”, when you knew he wasn’t. Even towards the end he was worried about us, that’s just what kind of wonderful man he was. Bill Faulkner was a wonderful husband and father, my best friend and the love of my life and I will forever miss him and love him.
