Bill was predeceased by his wife, Barbara E. and his daughter, Barbara S;, brother, Doug and sisters, Doris and Winnie. Bill was an avid reader of all topics, a sport fisherman, and a bird hunter, but his passion was gardening, as demonstrated by the flower garden he planned and meticulously nurtured every year on King Street until just two years ago.
