Bill was very active with the Boy Scouts for more than 45 years; He had three troops, 70, 10 and troop 2. He was a member of the Order of the Arrow, receiving his Black Sash and he received Scouting’s highest award, the Silver Beaver. He was also a Vigil Member of Konepaka Ketiwa Lodge of the Scouting National Honor Society. He loved scouting; some of his greatest joys were helping kids go through the scout ranks, bomb fires with the kids and cooking on his cast iron skillet. He was a member of the Lions Club, active with Felix Adler Days, a member of the National Association of Rocketry and the NRA. He was an avid Beatles fan and loved music; he enjoyed reloading his own ammo and shooting his black powder guns. Spending time with his family and his friends at McDonald’s was a great joy to Bill.
