Bill's calling in life was helping others. When a neighbor called, when a brother called, he answered. Need drywall up? He was there. Need help moving? He helped. Need to go to Virginia for a job? Or Tennessee? He was there. He even tarred his own roof. And all this AFTER his time at work. At work, his energy, his enthusiasm, his drive was lets-get-on-with-this. He never complained. He thought nothing of his own safety, while thinking everything for the safety of others. He worked with his hands and his hands worked as fast as his thoughts. That's ever so rare. He did more than weld, he was a Welder, a Landscaper, a Cook, he loved a good steak, a Business owner, a Mover, a Roofer, a Drywaller, a Car Body repairer, a Car engine mechanic, a Light machine operator, a Neighbor, a Listener,

Tinkerer, when all he ever wanted to be was a Painter...
...and a good brother to his family,
...and a good son to his mother,
...and a good man to his love,
...and a good neighbor,
...and a good friend to his dog.
He did all that. Bill never did any of those things for the money. Bill never did anything for the money. He did it because he was needed. He was a leader to the example he wanted others to be like. And that was So Cool. Thank you Bill. You are So Cool. The Shop, the Company, the Atmosphere will never be the same without seeing you happy with something in the plans to do. Love you, man.
