Bill leaves behind an honorable legacy as a man who always stood up for what was right. His dedication as a husband, father, and grandfather galvanizes this legacy. While family and friends often benefited from his kind words and actions, it was not unlikely for complete strangers to be treated with the same acts of kindness.
