Bill retired after more than 45 years as a tax preparer and bookkeeper.  He was a member of Assumption Catholic Church, and was an honorary greeter before Mass on Saturday evenings, especially to all the ladies.  He truly was a faithful, humble, and patient follower of Jesus.  He was a 4^th Degree Knight with the Knights of Columbus, and received the Knight of the Year award.  Bill also prepared the newsletters and served as financial secretary for many years for the Knights.  He dedicated many years as a volunteer for the state of Missouri vital records to help convert manual record keeping to online data.

Bill loved fishing, playing computer games, and watching baseball.  He also enjoyed researching genealogy and being the family “Historian.”  In his spare time, he liked reading, working crossword puzzles, playing chess, painting, and winning at Rummikub.  Among his hobbies, he also collected coins and small cars.  He was a handyman and mentor to many, and liked working on projects with his family to create and invent new gadgets or just to improve things around the house.  Bill was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all of his family and friends.
