Bill grew up in a loving family and developed a strong work ethic at an early age. He worked as a surveyor out of High school and then went on to work for companies in the architect industry as a draftsman. Outside of his work, Bill had many interests and hobbies. He was an avid golfer, enjoyed fishing and hunting, and loved to travel to the lake every summer with his family.
Bill will be remembered for his kind and generous spirit, his unwavering integrity, sense of humor and his deep love for his family and nature. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
