Bill was an avid car enthusiast and you could find him his garage at all hours working on his classic cars and attending car shows where he won too many trophies to mention. He loved Nascar and watching anything SciFy. He was a fixer of any and everything and if you needed something, most likely he had it. Above all, he worked hard to provide for his family. He was a friend to many, and many considered him their second dad. He will be missed dearly and loved forever.

No services are scheduled at this time.

In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to Pruitt Health Hospice, 118 York St., Chester, SC 29706.
