Always willing to get involved, Bill was president of the Madison High School Dads’ Club, umpired Little League baseball games, served as a water district commissioner, and belonged to a ballroom dance club with Jane. He also enjoyed water-skiing, flying,

fishing, and corresponding with his many friends.
