Bill was one the most giving and generous men I have had the privilege of knowing. He was a proud veteran of the United States Army and we often talked about our service to our country. He was a very good mechanic and could repair just about anything you bought to him. Outside of Church, he restored my son Rusty´s first car, a 1965 Mustang. That´s when we became good "Ford" buddies frequently exchanging hats, models, and military pins. Even when his health started to decline, he was very faithful to his Church. Always smiling and shaking hands with everyone. He will always be in my heart and will continue to be an inspiration to me. Dianne and I will miss him dearly and our hearts go out to Ann and pray for her in her loss.
