Bill loved playing golf and spent his semi-retirement years in Sun City as a Ranger on the golf course near his home. Bill was a fan of the Chicago Cubs, the Iowa Hawkeyes, and all the Arizona sports teams. Bill's legacy lies not in what he did on this earth, but in who he was and the people he touched.
