Bill had many gifts in life. He was talented in art (sculpture, paint, and other mediums.) He was a writer, gifted speaker, and attracted everyone to him with his ease of talking to those he met. He touched many people's lives wherever he went with his generosity, warmth, and caring attitude for people, and animals. But most of all, he loved God. He also had an enormous appetite for music of all genres and was a walking encyclopedia of music trivia.
