Bill enjoyed many things in his life. His favorite pastimes were making runs up the hill (Cripple Creek); riding his motorcycle, and taking the “dogs” (his boys) for a ride; hunting, fishing, spending time with Mom and taking drives throughout Colorado. He also enjoyed working; whether it was for the County or for Wilson & CO, or being there to help friends, family or a complete stranger. He took a lot of pride in being able to be there for others. Those who knew you will miss you and heaven will be lucky to have you.
