Bill worked hard and played hard. He was a fighter all his life. His love of family kept him going. He spent his last days caring for his wife he loved so. Many will remember him for his quick sense of humor and sarcastic demeanor; you always knew where you stood with him. His neighbors named him the "Mayor of Revella," a title he took seriously. He loved country music, especially Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash. He was a life-long Catholic and had a deep sense of God's presence. His grandchildren enjoyed his silly jokes, reading of Twas the Night Before Christmas and commentary on current events.
