William lived a full life, engaging in his passions when ever possible. He was an avid collector of Lionel Trains often constructing a sizable display each Christmas season to entertain not only himself and his daughter Patti but the extended family, especially the small children in his life. He had a love of scuba diving which he discovered during his service in the Phillipines. Bill and Pat worked to enjoy vacations at various Caribbean islands so that he could further engage in this passion, even making sure Pat learned to snorkle so that she could also experience a part of his adventures. Throughout life, Bill could often be found tinkering with computers and audio visual equipment. Later in life he became an advocate for animal rescue and was the proud pet parent to several rescued cats over the years. When he wasn't engaged in the more physical activities he could be found reading mystery novels with his cat by his side. He will be remembered for his passions in life.
