I worked with Bill in the garden department at Home Depot for many years, and thought of him as the brother I never had. He teased me like a big brother! A hard-working guy, a role model for all, especially the new associates. Everyone loved him and respected him.
Bill, your friends at Home Depot were blessed to know you!

I new Bill in his younger years and we hung around together a couple of times,1971 - 1973, and then life sent us on our separate ways... we both had 1970 muscle cars. Bills car was a beautiful blue 1970 Dodge Super Bee, and mine was a 1970 deep burnt orange Plymouth Road Runner...Bill had a Snap On truck that he made a living with and I purchased a few tools from him. Bill was always super friendly and I am glad that our life paths crossed. My sincere condolences to the Shirley and to all of their children and grand children. Bill will be greatly missed.
