Bill’s passion was gardening. He was a master gardener. He had his own greenhouse and was always happy to share his plants with anyone. He held many names, Mr. Bill, Wild Bill, old fart, Sarge & so on. If anyone needed to know something or remember something they called Bill. His grandchildren were always glad to see Bill and talk to him. He liked to tickle Ireland and Oisin loved just to talk to Bill.

Bill was a member of Union Valley Baptist church; Rufus Hoalcraft pastor. We will do a celebration of life service at the church at a later date with full military honors.

Bill was a loving husband, father, friend, and American. Bill will be missed by family, friends, and anyone who would have ever met him. He was a true gentleman and a true American. RIP MY LOVE!
