William was an amateur competitor in bowling and boxing, an avid fisherman, golfer, spiritual mentor and philosophical conversationalist. He was a lifelong sports fan- Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Bucks and Milwaukee Brewers, to name his favorites. He also attended St. Marcus Lutheran Church, Milwaukee for worship and bible study.
His family fondly remembers his sense of humor and “dad” jokes, his collection of hats, his beautiful singing voice, making handmade tortillas, crafting his own fishing poles, selling nightcrawlers, and his warm hugs and generous nature.
