Bill and Aggie loved to travel with family and camping at Roaring River where they made many new friends that they enjoyed playing cards with in the evening. They would spend the winter months in South Texas with family and more new friends. Bill loved to collect butter churns and coffee grinders. After his retirement and selling of the motor home, Bill would spend many hours in his wood shop making toy boxes, quilt racks, hope chests and multiple other wood projects for his family and friends. Bill will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him. The family would like to thank you for all the prayers, calls, cards, texts, food, and love shown to them during this difficult time. Last but certainly not least……ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!
