William loved reading his newspaper and doing the crossword puzzles; he loved to shop and spend time with his family. William also loved to spend time with extended family from The Office where they played video bowling and drank bud light. William also loved to cook and was known for his chocolate covered strawberrys and caramel popcorn. William’s grandson Devan always teased him and called him Silver Fox. William often found himself in Facebook jail for some of his silly post about the NFL and Coca Cola.

William will be missed dearly by his family. He was their rock and was always the one to go to for approval no matter the circumstances. His friends were like family as well, and they will also miss him but never forgotten. He will forever be in our hearts.
