I clicked family above .... We served together for years on the mighty, that made us brothers. I could tell stories for hours, highs and lows, mostly happy fun times. Bill was a big happy kid at heart, but he was also a squared away sailor who got shit done. I personally learned a lot from you Chief. I look forward to rotunda cheese when we meet again. You had to be there to understand.

Bill always attended the USS Missouri BB-63 Reunions and will be missed this year. Prayers are with his family during this trying time. Fair Winds and Following Seas....

He he did share so many stories of the times spent on the Mighty Mo. and the special brotherhood and bonds that were made. I am so grateful for the time spent getting to know so many of you at the last few reunions with him.

I grew up with Bill. I also joined the Navy and ran into him in Norfolk. I never seen him again til we ran into each other on Facebook. He was a good man. My condolences and prayers to the family.

Bill was our neighbor when he lived in Missouri! He spent time fishing with my husband and he and his wife Diana were both so kind to look after our place as my husband and I would travel in our camper to Florida to miss some of the cold weather during the winter months! He was fun to be around!! He will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Prayers are with the family. May he rest in peace. ❤️🇺🇸
