Bill was a proudful and well-respected Truck Driver for over 40 years and never met a stranger. He treasured time with his family and embraced every moment with his children and grandchildren. He never missed an opportunity to cut grass, even if it wasn’t his own. You would never see him without his chewing backer, glass of sweet tea, hat and sun shades. He enjoyed watching John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies and wresting when he had time. Bill had a passion for fishing, country music and loved to dance whenever the occasion arised. He had a big spirit and personality, infectious laugh and undeniable voice you would hear from the Peterbilt to the front door. His big heart and hugs were one in the same and left you feeling knowing you were loved when embraced. His daily phone calls to his brother Speedy at 4:00 a.m. will always be a memory not forgotten.
