In his early years, William loved dressing up and eating out with family and friends. At the end of his life, William’s love and time was devoted to his grandbabies. He was a meat and potatoes kind of guy and loved to be outside standing over a grill, grilling his favorite steaks. He was a U of L fan and also enjoyed horse racing.
