Bill enjoyed many wonderful adventures with his best friend and loving wife by his side. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, boating and fishing. A hobby he thoroughly enjoyed, was breeding and showing his cherished Brittanys. When not at the fishing hole or showing dogs, Bill could be found tinkering in his barn, a past time that he loved. A generous, loyal and kind friend to many, he was always first to lend a helping hand. Bill passed along to his children his strong Irish work ethic, sense of pride, ability to express one’s opinion, and dedication to family.
