He had a strong work ethic and always looked to do things in a way that would help him and others grow. Bill never judged anyone and had strong principles. If you were his friend, you knew you were blessed. Bill married Margaret on July 23, 1983, and they were happily married until the day he passed. Bill was a strong and steadying influence for a man whose instincts were always to push himself to live life fully. He deeply loved his entire family. He had a keen wit, and a strong sense of humor that made everyone he talked to want to keep talking to him. Bill never met a stranger. He loved the game of golf and enjoyed all that came with that sport. Bill was a graduate of the 1960 Belmont High School class. Bill worked and then retired from Frigidaire (General Motors) after 35 years. He was also a part of Eagle Scout Troop 45, and was very proud to have accomplished becoming a part of that troop.
