Bill was an amazing son, husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, great uncle, and friend! He loved his family more than anything and loved spending time with everyone at his camp. Bill’s camp was a labor of love, pouring so much of himself to create the beautiful, welcoming gathering place it became. Nights by his hand-laid firepit created by Darla and Tyler, a crackling fire after a huge family gathering of food, games and laughs, was Bill’s happiest place. He liked to be busy; he would work on remodel projects around his home or help anyone who needed him. Always there to lend a hand for family or friends, of which Bill had many close, life-long friends. Known by all who knew him as a “great guy”. A die-hard Miami Dolphins fan (in Bills County! and a proud Deadhead, which he enjoyed the Grateful Dead live many times but not as many times as Frank! He will be greatly missed by all who’ve known and loved him.

A special thank you to Bill's older sister, Debbie, for the gift of life back in 1992 when she donated her kidney.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the National Kidney Foundation.
