Biographical Information:
   Bill was born and raised in the Virginia area and moved to Indiana for work when he was seventeen years old.  He had worked hard all his life!!! Bill worked for the United States Government, the old RCA Factory of Monticello, Indiana, Wilson Foods, and Federal Mogul both of Logansport, Indiana.  Bill retired from working at Federal Mogul in 2001.  He had a great and true passion building all his homes and helping his children with their home projects.  In his younger years, Bill enjoyed "hanging out" with family, being outdoors, and always had some kind of project he was working on. If you  couldn't find Bill outdoors, he was inside "The Barn" watching Westerns or listening to County Gold "George Jones".  Bill had a HUGE heart and sense of humor.  He was always laughing, and had a smile on his face. Bill loved his family and was extremely proud of his kids, their spouses, and his twin grandsons. His grandsons could talk him into getting any animal for the farm (with the exception of the donkey).  Bill always welcomed visitors, enjoyed their company, and ended each visit with "what's your hurry?"  He was a faith - filled man and read his Bible daily. Bill was a man of integrity with a sense of family and sweet spirit.
