Bill was a lifelong avid sports fan and he especially enjoyed following the Cincinnati Reds and the UD Flyers basketball teams. He passed his love of sports - and his passion for baseball in particular - on to his children and grandchildren. Bill was a devoted husband and loving father and grandfather.
