Some of Bill’s favorite activities included fishing, hunting, woodworking, custom designs, gardening, singing along to his favorite tunes and socializing with friends. But most of all, he loved his family and spending time with his Grandchildren.

He was also survived by his ex-spouses; Barbara Peterson, mother to his children, and JoAnne Olson.
Preceded in death by his parents, his son Jamie, four sisters; Jean, Rita, Lorraine, Terol, and Beverly as well as his two brothers; Robert and Howard.
He had the spirit of a true warrior and will live on through the hearts of all he touched. He will forever be cherished and missed dearly.
