He loved baseball. It was in his blood and a part of his soul. Bill enjoyed being a baseball coach for many years. He recruited great kids and a great group of parents along the way.

Bill was a social man who enjoyed a beer and would light up at the chance to tell stories about his many friends. If you knew him, you most certainly had a laugh with him. He was proud of the relationships he made over his lifetime and would want us all to remember the wonderful times we shared.
