He had two brothers: Joe and Duke, and two sisters: Louise and Libby, (which have all preceeded him in  death,) and nieces and nephews.Bill met and married his only one true love Della Bennett at the age of 20. They had 4 children: Joyce, Debbie, Billy jr, and Tommy. He had 9 grandchildren: Ashley, Chris, Timmy jr, Amanda, Kristen, Marybeth, Cassidy, Aaron, and Jessi.He had 9 great grandchildren:Fernando, Noah, Rebekah, Timmy III, Nathan, Makayla, Jordan, Serenity, and MacKensey.Bill was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, son, and friend to many. He was a hard working man who believed in family values. He was kind hearted and easy going. Everyone who met him liked him. Some would even say he was "the life of the party." He loved to wrestle with the kids, or make  silly faces just to see them smile. We always had a great time when the family got together whether it be a cookout or just playing a friendly game of cards. He always made us laugh! As we reflect back on his life, we can truely say he had a long wonderful life filled with joy and happiness. Bill first began working at the Laurel Pool Hall on Main st at the age of 18. He then worked for Mineral Pigments of Beltsville where he was a Supervisor. He then worked for Giant Food Warehouse in Jessup. After a short 2 year move to Tennessee in 1974, he returned to Maryland in 1976 and began working at Columbia Kitchens in Savage doing an assortment of jobs, which included delivering kitchen cabinets and manufacturing countertops. After another short 2 year move to Florida in 1991 to care for his sick father, he moved back to Maryland in 1993 and continued caring for his ailing father until his passing. He then returned to work at Northwest Graphics in Jessup where he worked until he retired to  care for his wife. Bill had a life long love for horse racing. He also enjoyed night fishing, metal detecting,playing cards with the family, going to the casinos, tinkering with cars, bingo,  flea markets, scrapping, and researching on the computer.  He loved to read, especially books about history, astrology, treasure hunting, animals, and the mysteries of science. He loved o collect books, records, coins, hats, and a variety of other items. He was an avid sports fan. He enjoyed watching his favorite teams; the Orioles, Ravens, and Capitals.  He also enjoyed  going to see  his own grandchildren and great grandchildren play ball. He was a man that loved to do many things. As we say goodbye to this man we knew as Bill, Dad, Pop, Pop-Pop, and Poppy, we know he is in a better place. He is now cancer free and no longer in any pain. We know he is along side his wife of 45 years, Della, and many other family members.

He will always be Loved and Remembered.

R.I.P Dad, We Love You!

The family would like to extend a special Thank You to: Donald Emery, Evelyn Bowen, Dennis Wesley, and Jeff Miller.

                                               Oh, how we cried the day you left us

                                            We gathered round your grave to grieve
