Bill was known by many names, Dad, Bill, Billy, Willy, Fella and PH to name a few. He might have had a gruff exterior, but he was truly a kindhearted, loving, and caring soul. His generous nature was seen in his willingness to help others without question. He was stubborn, humorous, and clever as well as a protective father.
He is known to be a hard worker his whole life working at Opechee Construction for five years. The Town of Moultonborough Public Works working as, as Bill would say, an EMTS earth materials transportation specialist, aka a truck driver, for 13 years. His last place of employment was Sparr Building Supply in Wildwood, FL for the last 1.5 years.
Through the years he has made many good friends through his open, friendly demeanor and he has made lasting impressions on all who knew him.
The family will be holding a celebration of Bill’s life in the spring in Moultonborough. The time, date and location will be announced at a later time. If you would like to come and pay your respects and share in the remembrance of Bill, the family would love to see you.
