Some of Bill's fondest memories were of his young childhood days on his grandparents farm and his time spent with his Uncle Gene and Aunt Alma. Later in life he enjoyed family camping trips to New Hampshire, hunting, riding motorcycles, bowling, and playing pool. One of his greatest memories was of his road trip across country, a trip that served as his and Sue's honeymoon.
