Bill and Margaret resided in Houston, Texas where they raised three children.

Bill enjoyed several things in his life, which included a love of fishing, fellowship with friends, going on road trips, and spending time (countless hours) with his grandchildren and being involved in their activities.

He had a great sense of humor, enjoyed pulling pranks, faith in God, and the ability to make friends anywhere and everywhere.

He was the person you were always able to call and he would be there as soon as he could to help.

His grandchildren affectionately called him Boompah.
