One of Bill's greatest joys in life was being married to his wife of 46 years, Kris McGuire. They enjoyed traveling together, going for walks in the local nature preserve, and frequenting the best fish joints in town. He enjoyed sports, especially golf, tennis, and coaching youth soccer. Bill recently moved to Alabama to be near his son, Matt, and his family where he enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, who always enjoyed listening to him read stories.

We were so glad that Bill came back to visit his old Bradenton neighborhood a few months ago. We shared a fun lunch with him, remembering old friends and old times.

Bill and Kris were my neighbors for many years and were wonderful people. We all considered Bill as the "protector" of the neighborhood. There was no monkey business going on with him around! My condolences to all of the McGuire family.
