In 1996, Bill met and married the love of his life, Angela. Together, they were blessed with four wonderful children; Paige, Brooke and twin boys, Robert and Mark. He and Angela created a beautiful and loving family as anyone who ever met them can attest. His family was his greatest source of pride. Bill was an amazing father who put is heart and soul into caring for his wife and children. He was deeply committed, fiercely loyal and fully present for his children. One of his greatest joys was coaching each of his children on various softball, baseball and basketball teams. He loved hunting and fishing and sharing this passion with his children. Bill loved to work out and even competed in a body building competition. He was very disciplined and dedicated to taking good care of his body and his health. Bill was a deeply spiritual man and was passionate in his pursuit of faith and his love of God.
