Bill was a graduate of Tuscaloosa High School in 1969 and went on to attend the University of Alabama. He was part owner and operator of Cottondale Wood Products for over thirty years. He has been a lifelong member of First Presbyterian Church of Tuscaloosa. Bill was a gifted athlete, playing football at Tuscaloosa High School. He was an avid hunter, fisherman and golfer that enjoyed these hobbies with his son, nephews and many friends. Bill could often be found grilling for friends and family. Later in life, his love for nature evolved into feeding the squirrels and birds daily and occasionally feeding the ducks in his neighborhood with his grandchildren, who affectionately referred to him as “Grumps”. Bill never met a stranger and his love for people was evident in his kind hearted, humble approach to life. Honorary pallbearers are Dr. John Miller, Hospice of West Alabama, Taco Casa #11 and friends of the Ford Camp.
