William was also a dedicated worker who spent 37 years as a Supervisor at the Ford Proving Grounds.

He was one of the original members who started the Lake Orion Men’s Softball League and was known as the pitcher that no one could beat. William was a sportsman who loved to hunt and fish, an avid stock car and NASCAR fan, and he enjoyed listening to the Blues, especially his favorite, B. B. King.

He was known for having a wonderful memory and had a mind as sharp as a tack, even in his later years.
