William was a residential home builder and trenching contractor until his retirement. He was a man of many talents and inventions, with the ability to make anything work…you could say he was a self taught mechanical engineer. He loved God and was very active in attending church, southern gospel music gatherings, playing the harmonica and spending time with his family.
He lived his life with this motto from Luke 6:31 ~ “Do to others as you would have them do to you.”
