A strong believer in community involvement, Bill served on boards of local and national charities and organizations.
Bill is the proud owner of a rescue dog named Pumpkin (she came with the name, but Bill says it fits her personality).
Bill is a self-proclaimed car fanatic, a fan of both college and pro football, and the owner of some 200 neckties and 300 pairs of quirky socks.
