Anyone who knew Bill loved him. His many nieces and nephews: Sara, John, Stefanie, Danielle, Jeff, Christopher, Ashley, Joanna, and Gregory. A great-uncle to Samantha, Landon, and Justin; Jocelyn, John, Jayden, and Emily Sparks; Noah, Cole, Evan, Jaxx, Zoey, Landon, Haylee, Aubrey, Nico, Ellie, and Cayden, all of who who melted his heart every day. Godfather to Matthew Burke, Scott Carter, and Mike Sickles.

Family meant everything to Bill. He started working early in life to help support his family at 17. He worked at Jays, Wrigley Field, and finally at FCL Graphics until he couldn't work anymore.

His friends were important to him, he had many, and they know it.
