William Daniel Tillman Sr.

William was a Veteran, serving his country in the United States Navy as a Nuclear Machinist’s Mate. He enjoyed listening to music, going to concerts, baseball, and hanging out with his sons and grandchildren. William was a Boston Red Sox fan, and he would go to their games whenever they were in the area. He also liked the Houston Astros and he would attend their Fathers’ Day games every year. He was an avid collector of superhero comic books, Thor being his favorite. William enjoyed reading, mostly about Civil War and WWII history. He also read a great deal about nuclear and mechanical engineering to further his post-military career as an inspector and educator.
