A proud veteran, Bill served his country during the Cuban Missile Crisis as an E-4 in the Navy from 1961 to 1967. His commitment to service extended beyond his military duties; he was a compassionate soul who always lent a helping hand to those in need.

A devoted family man, he cherished every moment with his children and grandchildren, instilling in them the values of strength, pride, and kindness.
