Bill was a member of the Elks Lodge in Sanford. He served in the United States Army, being stationed in Texas from 1954, until his honorable discharge in 1956.
Uncle Bill or Billy as he was affectionately named; adopted all his nieces and nephews as his own. He was a very generous man always thinking of others. He enjoyed many walks through the cemetery studying stones and often times would be found placing flowers on the grave of someone he knew saying, "I am visiting my friend." A fun loving man, whom everyone enjoyed being around. Uncle Bill was always up for a practical joke.
Bill was a man of many talents, including music and photography. He started playing the piano and organ at the age of nine by ear, and later began music lessons taught by Jane Rotermand. He could play anything and even composed many pieces of music. Classical music was his favorite. Bill also enjoyed photographing many of Breckenridge's Historical Buildings, which are displayed at the Village Office. Bill also enjoyed recording everything including, his nieces, nephews and sisters.
Bill had a great love for the out-of-doors and enjoyed nature to the fullest. He also enjoyed taking trips with his family members and will be greatly missed all of them.
