Bill and his wife, Lonna of 59 years, moved to Southport in 1999. Their retirement years were happy ones as he was passionate about golf, family and friends. He had a dry sense of humor so you had to watch out for the zingers! He is survived by his wife, Lonna; their daughter Jennifer her husband Gary; two granddaughters; and two great granddaughters, his sisters Nancy Anderson and Ann Hamrock, their spouses and numerous nieces and nephews.
