When William wasn’t working hard and enjoying retirement he loved going to the coast to fish, playing the trombone as a member in the community band, traveling in the RV, going to places with good food and listening to great music. But his favorite past time was spending time with his grandchildren, telling stories of his childhood and adventures over the course of his lifetime.
