Bill was a very talented soccer player and enjoyed teaching and coaching his kids in the sport. He also enjoyed football-playing in high school where he held the field goal record, fishing-teaching his children and grandchildren the love of fishing, skiing, the river, playing pool and music. He embraced all things and was open to adventure. He worked construction, a trade he learned from his father. He went on to learn HVAC and sheet metal. He was an all around handyman and he loved mentoring his nephews by teaching them his crafts.

Bill had tons of lifelong friends from childhood that have stayed in touch over the years. He made several new friends over the years as well. Bill never met a stranger; they were friends that he just had not met yet. He was a true friend to all. He had the biggest heart and his kids, grandkids and all babies knew it. He loved with all he had. Bill was a great storyteller, and every story was true. Even the strangest ones. If you knew Bill, no doubt you had a story, two, or three with him. His laugh was infectious, he was extremely empathetic. Bill was the one you wanted on all your trips, because you knew you would have a great time. He also was the one you wanted as your wingman when headed out to a party, concert, or just a bar to play some pool. He was always a good time. Bill had a wake-up call to get his kids, grandkids, friends and family up with, "Wake up! Put on your make up!". Bill was bigger than life. He has left a huge footprint behind, on so many family and friends hearts. He will be missed.
