No one could beat Bill’s sense of humor. He loved to make people laugh and to entertain with practical jokes. Bill cared about the things that truly mattered in life: time spent with family boating, fishing, and sitting around the campfire. He taught all of us to appreciate the little things in life and to always find the humor in any situation. He will live in our hearts forever.
