Bill belonged to the Johnstown Sea Food Club, Elks Lodge 175, the Dinner Group, Society of Former Special Agents of the FBI, and long-time member GJTA. Bill and his wife Bonnie loved to entertain family and friends with many picnics and Burgoos, where the Dead Irish Blues provided music. Many children and adults will remember hearing the words “tractor ride!” being shouted at the picnics.  Bill would drive his Kubota tractor and pull a large wooden wagon filled with waving and screaming children all over the property and through the woods.  He enjoyed playing tennis, swimming, playing bridge and many other card games. Bill and Bonnie loved to travel and visited Alaska, the Mediterranean, Ireland, Hawaii, the Caribbean, Punta Cana, and Cancun with friends and family. He was always ready for a good martini. Bill is going to be sadly missed by his family and many friends. There will be a Celebration of Life at a later date.  Arrangements in care of Hindman Funeral Homes & Crematory, Inc., “Exclusive Provider of Veterans and Family Memorial Care.” Condolences may be made at HindmanFuneralHomes.com
