He settled in Kentucky and found his little piece of heaven, the people, place and neighbors were perfect. He loved to spend time with his family and granddog, swimming, fishing, and traveling.

Bill(y), known you from the time you came in to the jungle , as our friend, paperboy and childhood neighbor.
You were SPECIAL , always smiling ,
And a beautiful boy to young man inside/out.
My Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. He make them to lie down in green pastures& He leadeth me beside the still waters
He restoreth my soul.
Though I walk through the valley of death, I will fear no evil ; for thou art with me :Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER.
Like a candle our life is consumed in the face of Christ.
Find comfort , joy , laughter , that lives on in precious memories held close to your hearts,
Sincere & Deepest thoughts of sympathy.

Bill and I met on a large tunnel project in Rochester ,NY. I think it took about 4 or 5 days before I quit, and I was heading to the office to turn in my equipment. About a half hour before I got there, I got a phone call and it was Bill. "Hey Babe you left, is everything okay? I think you and me need to talk, come see me in the morning." 4 major projects, across 4 states and 7 years later, our time together brought a lot of success . He had an uncanny ability to put together a team of people to build anything, all who would do anything for him. In that time I met some of the most amazing people,his work family. Then I met his real family, and those people were equally amazing. Thank you Big Bill for the experience and thank you for all my new found family .
