Bill served as Vice President and President of the Breezewood V.F.W. Post 8333, President of the Horseshoe League of Everett Bartenders, President and coach of the Clearville Softball League, was a 50+ year continuous member of the Everett Red Men Wambic Tribe No. 507 and was very active in the Mt.

Bill enjoyed hunting, fishing, racing, watching the Steelers, sitting on the porch, working outside, having fun and playing jokes (April Fool's Day was his favorite), but nothing meant more to him than spending time with family. He had a huge heart, always had a helping hand and was a friend to many. His ornery and loving ways will be deeply missed and treasured forever.
