Bill lived in Clearmont, until graduating and joining the Navy. He was very proud of his service in the Navy.
Bill always loved returning to Sheridan, WY and would take his sister Judy’s boys up on the Big Horn Mountains, for a camping adventure.
The love of the Big Horn Mountains never left. It was a part of his soul.
After Judy’s husband retired, Bill and his wife Kay would take adventures. Going camping attending Cheyenne Frontier Days, Clearmont days, or the Sheridan WYO Rodeo.
Bill enjoyed building bird houses, dust pans out of license plates, wind chimes out of silverware, and toy cars and other things out of wood. His sister Judy would look forward to his visit to see what new treasure she would receive.
Bill and Judy had weekly phone calls that could last over 1 hour, talking about growing up, friends and family that they enjoyed spending time with.
Bill would receive photo books with pictures of nephews, great nephews, great nieces, and great-great nieces and a set of triplet great-great nieces. He was so proud of them and he made sure to share them with anyone and everyone who would visit.
