Bill enjoyed traveling, especially to Myrtle Beach and trying his luck at the casinos, but most of all he enjoyed time with family and making meals, especially during the holidays. He was a kind, loving husband, father and grandfather who would do anything for anyone. Although he was a man of few words, his actions spoke volumes. His temper, one-line jokes , smooth card skills and gentle little grin will be missed. The family will receive friends at the Wm. R. Chase & Son Funeral Home, 737 Chenango Street, Port Dickinson, on Tuesday, March 3, 2020 from 10-12pm with a Memorial Service to follow at 12pm.
