He enjoyed fishing, gardening, eating with his “Phase 10” friends at Cucula’s Mexican Restaurant and watching his Atlanta Braves baseball team.
He retired from American Enka/BASF.
Bill is preceded in death by his twin sister, Betty Ann; sisters, Marie and Madeline; and brothers, James, Albert and Richard.
