Bill was a member of St. Charles & Helena Catholic Church in Clio, the Frankenmuth Conservation Club and VFW Post 158. Bill was an avid hunter, he loved his guns and enjoyed being a gun dealer. He liked working with leather, making all sorts of things, such as belts, bowling bags, purses, and gun slings. After retirement Bill and Judy enjoyed traveling, they traveled all over the United States. Their favorite spots were out west in Arizona and Las Vegas. Bill also loved the time he spent with his grandchildren teaching them all sorts of things in life, from fixing a flat tire to putting something back together.

Most important to Bill was his family, he dearly loved them and cherished the time they were able to spend together.
