Every year for Christmas, he would give his grandkids a box of Oatmeal Cream Pies, or as they affectionately called them, "papaw pies." He liked singing "You are my Sunshine" and spoiling his youngest daughter, Kayla. Bill was sentimental, humorous, stubborn, and kind to everyone. He loved his kids, grandkids, and had a special bond with his niece, Melanie.
