Upon returning home to Newtown he began his career in construction specializing in heavy equipment mechanics and operation. Bill took pride in his work, treasured his many friends, loved his many dogs and most importantly, prioritized and cherished his family. Bill loved the outdoors and spent his free time skiing, snowmobiling, hunting, and mostly enjoying at his back patio celebrating life with laughter and revelry with family and friends.
