William was an avid collector and loved watching his birds and meeting the 'guys ' for morning coffee. In his younger years, he loved playing softball and fishing.

Donna, Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Take care,
Thinking of you and saying a prayer for your family. God Bless.
As children Billy was an important part of our neighborhood family, we remained good friends through the years. He had a loving and generous heart with a smile that could brighten a room. Billy and mother again can enjoy eating potica, now at the table of the Lord. His passing will leave a void and he will be missed. May God Bless and comfort you!
Our condolences to you and your families. I remember working for Bill’s Dad at George’s Garage and also working with Bill at Public Service.
