Bill retired from the State of Missouri after serving over twenty years as a caseworker.  He loved being outdoors and enjoyed all that it offered.  Bill especially loved fishing, hunting, canoeing, and the fish fries at church.  He also loved going to car shows and his '55 Chevy.  Bill could often be found up at Kenny's Station spending time telling fish tales and other lies.  All of these things were even more meaningful to Bill, when he was able to share the time with his family and friends.   Bill will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by those who knew and loved him, especially his beloved dog, Truman.
