Bill, as family and friends knew him, was our prickly pear: tough and thorny on the outside but soft and sweet on the inside. He loved his family and we loved him, thorns and all. He loved nature, 4-wheeling, traveling and being outdoors.
Bill was born and raised in Cincinnati, OH. He attended La Salle High School. Following graduation, he proudly served in the US Army from 1968-1972. Bill was an amazing Laser Technician. He could fix anything and loved taking stuff apart to see how it worked.
We will miss you brother, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and uncle, may you be at peace with those who went before you.
