Bill loved Big 5 basketball , attending games at local colleges and especially at the Palestra on the U. of Pennsylvania campus. He enjoyed stock car races driving his yellow Camaro many miles to watch the Speedway excitement. A spring training vacation in Clearwater Florida was a highlight. Men's college lacrosse was another favorite. He was able to travel to Boston Mass. and another year to Washington D.C. to see the national championship games. Bill's most extensive travel was to the island of Oahu to meet his 3 month old niece. While there the family toured all the sights with a side trip to the island of Kauai.

An unfortunate accident as a pedestrian caused some difficult physical issues for Bill. After the family home was sold he lived independently in Lansdowne, Pa. and Upper Darby. When he was no longer able to do that he resided at an Extended Care Center in Bryn Mawr Pa. till the time of his passing on May 14,2024. He was 73 years old.
