His family meant more to him than anything else in the world. Anyone who knew Bill knew that he was the most loving father and husband a family could ask for. Bill was also passionate about sports and could often be found golfing, going to sporting events or at his grandchildren’s many extracurriculars. He shined most when mentoring, coaching and being a show choir dad. He did this for many years with his girls and even his grandchildren.
