Bill was an avid train enthusiast, gaining passion for it after working on the railroad for a time. He devoted time to making model trains and anything else to do with locomotives. He was also a fan of sci-fi. He had a wonderful sense of humor and hearty laugh, and never met a stranger. He will be missed by all who knew him.
