Bill's favorite scripture was Isaiah 40:31 “But those who wait on Yehovah our God renew their strength, they raise up the wings like eagles, they run and are not weary, they walk and do not faint.” He enjoyed anything that took him outside from working in his yard, fishing, camping but most of all spending time with his grandchildren, flying kites with them and just being outdoors.
