Bill was an incredible father and lived for his children. Billy and Madison will never have to go a day without knowing how loved they were by their dad. He was always making sure to teach his kids the power of helping other people, teaching them respect, kindness, and compassion.
Bill was extremely proud of his recovery and to be a part of the AA community. He was just shy of 6 years sober and now he will have eternal sobriety.
