Bill remarried in 1973 to the love of his life Connie and not only gained a beautiful wife but also a daughter Kristen to join his son Rick. His family was now complete.

Moving into their new home, Bill completely replumbed, rewired and re-roofed his old house to make it a home for his family.  There was no job he wouldn’t or couldn’t tackle.

Bill loved motorcycling with his pals, Al, Gene, Jack, Ron and Sam and taking trips to Mexico with Keith and Laurie.

At 92, he had a GOOD RIDE!
