William was a resident of Charlotte, NC for 57 years, and a 30-year member of the Knights of Columbus at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church.
He was, by profession, an engineer and enjoyed problem solving to the end. As he laid on his death bed, he was looking at the ceiling and describing a rail and lift system to carry him to the bathroom.
He also enjoyed competition. He bought an old sailboat to repair and sail as a relaxing hobby. He was invited to race it once and was soon spending his winters modifying it to the limits allowed and racing even the boats that were just out on the lake for a relaxing sail. Later in his life, he got into competitive golfing, billiards, and bowling.
He was a man of many opinions and stories and shared them with everyone he met. He said moving to Cypress Glen seven years ago was one of the best decisions he ever made. He made many new friends and enjoyed a full and happy life.
Memorial donations in William's name may be made to St. Peter Catholic Church, Cypress Glen, HomeWell Care Services, or Pruitt Home Health & Hospice.
