Bill loved golfing, bowling, and dancing. A US Navy Veteran as a radioman, and he sailed on the USS Independence CVA62 from 1968 – 1972, in the Mediterranean Sea and traveled to many ports of call. He was preceded in death by his parents.

Bill’s wife wishes all family and friends to remember Bill with this song,



WHEN THEY RING THE GOLDEN BELLS



Don’t you hear the bells now ringing?



Don’t you hear the angels singing?



“Tis the glory halleluiah Jubilee



In that far off sweet forever,



Just beyond the shining river,



When they ring the golden bells



For you and me.





When our days shall know their number,



And in death we sweetly slumber,



When the King commands the spirit to be free.



Nevermore with anguish laden,



We shall reach that lovely Eden,



When they ring the golden bells



For you and me.
