Bill was known far and wide as a kind and generous man with impeccable morals and irreproachable integrity. He loved people well and was deeply loved by many. He was Pops to every child at church. He had a smile, a story and a stick of gum for everyone he encountered. If you knew him at all, your life was better for it. He loved vintage cars collecting relics and antiques, gathering his family together for holidays, and going out of his way to make ordinary days extraordinary. He loved his wife and family and served them sacrificially every moment of his day. He was a hard worker, and a man of great character in every aspect of his life. The example he set for us all was one of a Christ like life, lived out to benefit others and never thinking of himself. He is deeply loved, and will be deeply grieved and missed by his wife, children, grandchildren and siblings.
Family and Friends will be serving as Pall Bearers.
