Bill attended church at Park Hill Baptist Church for over 20 years where he developed many wonderful friendships and he is very grateful for his church family.

Bill took advantage of his retirement. Going on several cruises to various places. He loved spending time with his wife in Branson attending all the many music shows, going to Silver Dollar City, and The Dixie Stampede. Bill enjoyed working his farm and raising cattle. He spent many deer seasons hunting with Steve and Allen.

It was always a competition as to who killed the biggest deer. Fishing was a pastime he really enjoyed. He was always looking for the biggest crappie. Bill was deeply loved by his family. He will be missed but we know he is walking with Jesus and we will see him one day. ~ We Love You Pops!
