Bill graduated from Dallas County High School in 1959. He had a 35-year career working with Alabama Power Company. Bill was always tinkering on something and could fix anything, especially cars and anything electrical or mechanical. His ability to modify his ‘55 Ford Coupe to shoot blue flames was legendary. He enjoyed the years of “working the farm” both as a young man and later in life. Bill also loved coaching his girls’ softball teams in Centreville and the girls’ basketball team at St. James School in Montgomery. His focus, patience and calm demeanor were to be admired.
Bill will be missed every day but will stay in our hearts forever.
