An avid lover of stringed instruments, especially banjos, ukuleles, and mandolins, his hobby was to reassemble banjos and other instruments from parts.

He especially enjoyed being with his family where he was known as everyone’s favorite Uncle Bill. He was always willing to help anyone in need and took great pride in sharing cherries from the cherry tree in his front yard.
