Bill loved everything sports, but especially The Ohio State Buckeyes, Cincinnati Reds and Cincinnati Bengals. He also enjoyed playing golf and traveling and spending time with his family in Pigeon Forge, TN. Bill was a very loving husband to his wife, Lynnelle, a city girl from Detroit.

I have known Bill for quite a few years as a customer at Farm and Fleet, later at Ace Hardware. Later I started working at Ace Hardware, and Bill gave me a ton of great advice, showing me how to do things around the store. I´ve missed working with him, and have tried to pass on his advice to newer employees.

Thanks Bill for everything.
