An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed hunting and fishing, and was a member of the Harvard Sportsmen’s Club, and American Legion, Post 96, Lancaster. His greatest joy was spending time with his family, especially his children and grandchildren. Bill was extremely proud of the home he built on Langen Road and could often be found in a lawn chair out front. He was happiest walking through the woods and enjoying any outdoor activity. He will be greatly missed by many; he served as a mentor for many of his children’s friends, leaving them with fond memories, lectures, laughs, and life lessons.
