In the winter, Bill and Audrey spent time in Englewood, Florida, where Bill enjoyed his time ocean fishing. Bill was known to be very competitive in the sports and hobbies he enjoyed. In the years since his retirement began, Bill shared his love for the outdoors and music with his children and grandchildren. All have been touched by his interests and passions.
