He served his country by enlisting in the Army in 1953. He and his wife are members of Cool Spring Baptist Church. One of his great joys was basketball and football. He was asked to coach and mentor a basketball team at the church for several years. He loved watching members of his family participate in sporting events and he enjoyed attending and watching professional sporting games. He also enjoyed reading espionage novels, golfing, the beach and monitoring and discussing the stock market with his friend of many years, Earl. He always toasted “Nostrovia,” the English version, which simply means “to health” and “bless you.” Nostrovia, to you Bill!
