Bill graduated from Memorial high school in Houston Texas in 1970 and joined the Marines at
Camp Pendleton, California. He studied fire science in the Marines and in college and enjoyed a
lengthy career with the Baytown fire department. He was active in his community, earning
commendations and awards for his service. He enjoyed camping and riding ATVs with his kids
and extended family. He loved gathering around campfires, and fireworks at Bill’s was a family
tradition. He was a lifelong gardener and his tomatoes were widely in demand. He loved Polka
and Conjunto dancing, joined German and Czech clubs, and went to festivals every chance he
could. Bill and Meike travelled to see her family in the Netherlands and surrounding countries.
He was happiest in the great outdoors enjoying nature.
In consideration of safety, no formal service or visitation is scheduled. The family would like to
thank the staff of Autumn Leaves, Crossroads Hospice, and Dr. Jeffrey Lee. In lieu of usual
remembrances, memorial contributions may be made to the charity of your choice, Fill the Boot
