Bill was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, graduating from Rockland High School. He retired from the Hanover School Department as a maintenance worker in 1998. He and Patti moved to Florida to begin their life together and were married July 2000.

He enjoyed working as the maintenance supervisor for Punta Gorda Airport until his retirement in 2010.  Bill enjoyed his retirement tinkering in his garage (man cave), working on home improvement projects and refurbishing cars. He was always willing to lend a hand to friends and family. He was self-described as a ‘Jack of all trades, master of none’. Bill’s unique sense of humor was something to be appreciated. He loved spending time with his family/grandchildren by the pool cooking on the grill. Holidays & birthdays were some of his favorite times.
One of his favorite past times was watching YouTube videos of crazy Russian drivers. He also enjoyed watching videos of the history of flight and anything having to do with flying and space exploration, although he had a fear of flying. Bill was a long standing member of NRA and enjoyed target shooting.

Bill will be deeply missed by his wife Patti, her children John & Heather, their grandchildren Jeffrey, Riley and Ambrynn, and his sister Marylou. He loved his 4 yorkie babies and considered them his children.

There will be no service at this time. As an expression of sympathy memorial contributions may be made to the Florida Yorkie Rescue http://www.floridayorkierescue.com/Donations.html 

God looked around his garden
And found an empty space;
He then looked down upon this earth
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest;
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.
He knew you were in pain,
He knew you might never
Get well upon this earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb,
so He closed your weary eyelids
and whispered 'Peace be thine.'
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you never went alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home
