William was a family man and enjoyed activities where he was able to cook, bake and entertain others. He was a family historian who loved taking others on trips down memory lane.

He was employed at The University Hartford for almost 40 years and was considered Mr. University of Hartford. He loved tending to his yard and never met a leaf he couldn't battle. He enjoyed taking day drives and was known to drive to Maine for the day just to get Clam Chowder. He will forever be missed by those who knew and Loved him.
