He also participated in the Sylvania Follies and Sylvania Choir for 7 years. He was devoted to his family and found his greatest joy in spending time with his children and grandchildren.

Billy, I had occasion to drive down Freeman Street last month just to awaken old memories. You wouldn't recognize it Bill.
I couldn't help but recall the mischief we got into frequently. Its difficult to write these words knowing you are on the other side .........Where I hope to meet you again and try our hand at building more model airplanes. Rest well my friend.
