Bill spent most of his personal time competing in pistol matches in just about every major city in Southern California. At a shooting range, collecting firearms. He loved to play the piano, and could cold play just about any instrument he got his hands on. He also collected model trains, classic cars and trucks and when he wasn’t fishing, you could find him at the Elks Club playing pool or throwing darts.
Safe to say, anything you had to take aim at, he enjoyed and excelled at.
This is in honor of my Father from Me,
IF in this moment you are asked to take a knee, what if in that moment, just once, instead, we Saluted in Honor, right Hand to Head for all the Heroes still fighting to Live, and for all of our Heroes who protect and serve!
