Bill, aka Billiam, Pops, Poppie, Hubcap, Hummer, Wyl.e, was a long time member of IBEW Local 716. He retired as an electrician, yet followed his passion for rebuilding motorcycles in his retirement years. He truly lived every day for the next day. So much as buying his hunting license the day of his exit. He was going the following week to get Lisa a buck she so desperately wanted. Not as a pet for a change, but for dinner. Bill loved every moment he was allowed to spend time with his children, grandchildren, sisters, family and extended family. Bill fought a long hard road with his health and surprised all for his constant desire to live each day to the fullest. As he always reminded each, the sun will come up tomorrow.
