Bill was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, great-great grandfather, and friend. Bill was known for his unique sense of humor and always making people laugh. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, playing cards, yard work, cooking, working cross word puzzles and attending church when he was able. He had a competitive spirit about everything he did. But, most of all he cherished spending time with his family and friends. In his last days, he cherished the special visits from his daughter, Tammy who he could always make smile. Tammy loved her "Didi" so much and will one day reunite with him and they will both have perfect bodies in heaven.
