Bill spent his entire career working for Heinz, where he was known for his strong work ethic. His daughters are especially grateful for the example he set through his hard work, perseverance and commitment to providing for his family.

Bill was an avid car enthusiast and had a true passion for working on his street rods. He found great happiness in the garage, always building and perfecting his cars, which gave him pride and joy.
