He also built hot stock race cars and was the backbone of the three-time championship winning team, "Danesport Racing."
His most cherished and treasured part of life was being called "grumpappy" by his beautiful granddaughters. As Bill would say, he loved them "better than peanut butter and sour pickles!"

Our condolences go to Bill's family at this time of great loss. There is nothing we can say at this moment that will speed the healing, only time and prayer will do so.
Bill was a very good friend of mine, he was the the instrument that got me my first mangagers job with General Motors. Again, I want to thank him for bringing me into the organization. He told me this job would take care of me and my family...he was very correct. God Bless you Bill, we will miss your candor.
