Bill found joy in the outdoors, spending his time fishing, walking, exploring, and tending to his garden. His love for animals was one of his most defining traits. He cared deeply for his cherished fur babies - Bo, Banshee, Snore, and Joe Joe - and extended that same love to every stray that crossed his path. Bill faithfully fed birds, hummingbirds, squirrels, deer, turkeys, and even groundhogs, taking comfort in watching them thrive. He kept daily journals noting each visitor, finding happiness in knowing which animal stopped by each day.

A man with a humble and generous spirit, Bill was always willing to help those who had fallen on hard times. He often said, "They need more help than me," a reflection of his selflessness and sincere concern for others.

Bill lived a simple life filled with purpose, compassion, and authenticity. His gentle presence made the world a kinder place, and his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him, as well as in the many creatures he lovingly cared for.
