In his lifetime, William was a painting contractor by trade. He enjoyed hunting all types of wildlife including deer, antelope and bear. His greatest hunting triumph was an Alaskan bear. As a coon hunter, he had several Grand Night Champion dogs . He also had some race horses that he enjoyed.

William preferred being outdoors, riding the tractor, lawn mower or just walking the acreage. He had a soft spot for all dogs and loved them more than most people.

William was a consummate napper, and a pro at flipping through TV channels. He loved eating a good meal and would often refer to himself as a cookie monster.

We love him and will miss him greatly.
