Faithful and long time member of Piner Baptist Church, he acted as deacon for many years.  He previously attended Big Bone Church.  He was a devoted servant of the Lord and many family members and friends. Bill always wanted to help and never liked to be idle. 

Always a hard worker - he drove a tanker truck for Maxwell Trucking as a member of Teamsters Local 100 tanker division for many years until he retired to act as caregiver to his wife, Emma Jane.  His early career included driving a milk truck and working at American Tool.

Bill was a very kind, thoughtful, and generous person, almost to a fault.
