Bill enjoyed disassembling various items of machinery as a child, but
his passion was for cars. He proved to be a gifted mechanic, which
led to his long career as an auto mechanic. He could work on
anything mechanical from trucks to cars to lawn mowers. He would
often spend his personal time helping his friends and family, offering
discounted auto repair services. Bill also enjoyed working with wood.
He was a very talented musician, playing in various bands. Combining
both interests, he expertly built his own, electric guitar to use in
his art. He was a fisherman, liked hiking and the outdoors. He had
a wonderful sense of humor. Bill may not have realized how many lives
he has touched and will be missed by many.
