He was an avid sports fan who enjoyed many outdoor activities, favorites including golf, or any other athletics his family was involved in.

In his younger years, Bill enjoyed BBQ, beer, bottlecaps, and washers. As he aged, Bill developed a taste for travel and all-inclusive vacations. Bill loved life, but most of all he loved his family. Bill was a role model to his family and to everyone whose lives he touched.
