He served his country in the United States Air Force for four years as a radar controller. Bill was a quieter man, but those who knew him appreciated his wit and subtle sense of humor. One of his favorite lines was, “If I was any better, I’d be dangerous,” which he delivered in his own unmistakable way.
He enjoyed the simple things in life—fishing, keeping busy with yard work, falling asleep while "watching" football, a good toothpick, the newspaper mostly for the puzzle section, and doing things his own way.
About five years ago, he remarried his children’s mother, renewing their connection and spending his later years close to those he loved.
He is survived by his two daughters, one stepdaughter, two stepsons, and many grandchildren & great grandchildren.
A small graveside service for the family will be held at a later date.
He will be remembered for his quiet presence, his humor, and the unique way he moved through life.
