Bill was a strong patriarch of his family and a good friend to all. He came from a large family and had very happy memories with his brothers and sisters, and many nieces and nephews. Along with his close friends, he enjoyed a full life of boating, fishing, hunting and cooking. “P” Dock was one of his favorite places to be and his home on weekends for over 30 years. Bill was a kind man holding the highest integrity in business. He spent his career as a salvor in the insurance industry. He will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.
