Bill had several passions for life. Bill enjoyed a good campfire and listening to music.  Bill enjoyed his garden, which he started every plant from seed every winter.  To fishing, not as much as he would have liked to.  Most of all he was a fabulous cook.   His specialty was oriental cuisine and would smoke/BBQ anything he could.  Those who knew Bill will remember his humor and the ability to repurpose anything.  Most of all he was a fabulous dancer.
