Bill enjoyed the simple things in life, spending time with his family, friends and his dogs Max and Jack. He also was a big Steelers and Pirates fan. Bill enjoyed fishing often. He loved listening to his 60s music, especially Johnny Horton. He enjoyed watching westerns and Perry Mason movies, while enjoying buttery popcorn.
I will always remember the times we had. Here in the world as well as our time in country. You are a brother from another mother and will be missed. To the family my heart is heavy for your loss. May we give some peace to you in this time and beyond.
