William Bill Frederick Pike

Bill had many friends even though as a young child he and his brother, Leonard lost their parents Alvie and Lenore. Bill was a dedicated young man and with his hardship he decided to do the many things he loved, his desires led him on a journey of becoming a great mechanic. He educated himself in restoring and building cars as his favorite hobby. Bill also loved to travel and continue his desire to perform a job that he loved, therefore he gained his education in the aviation career which led him on his journey throughout the United States and made it possible to travel world wide. One of his first endeavors Bill became a Crew Chief on the Met Life Blimp and kept Snoopy flying all over from city to city he was traveling everywhere which he loved to do. During the time period he met and fell in love with his wife Cindy to continue the journey, he also was joined by a young stepson, Jeff who was at just the right age to join in on building and remodeling cars. Their last project is still sitting in the garage awaiting a paint job. Jeff plans on finishing it in Bill’s memory.

If Bill were here with us he would tell us to set our goals and enjoy the love and happiness in doing the things we love because the journey may be shorter than you think.
