His family is so proud of his service to his country and Bill's last request was to be buried in DFW National Cemetery. Maggie’s ashes (his precious German Shepherd) will be tucked into Bill's arms and will be with him forever.

Everyone that met Bill soon realized he was an avid musician and a very dedicated fisherman. Bill played over nine instruments starting on the steel guitar at five years old. At 14 he played Cello in the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. In junior high and senior high schools he played drums and trumpet, winning most contests he entered including regionals and state.

By the time he was 20 he was playing lead electric guitar in several bands around the Dallas area. The music time started to take a back seat to his winning fishing tournaments on Lake Fork and many other lakes around Texas. He collected dozens of trophies from his tournament days!! …poor fishies!!
