With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Dad truly had a golden heart. He would give you the shirt off his back if you asked, especially for his kids. Dad was a father to more than just his own 5 children. He raised and mentored many of our extended family members down life's many paths. He is missed terribly by his many "kids". William lost his battle with cancer after fighting and holding on tenaciously in order to see his first great grandchild born which he did.

William was a devoted Catholic and faithfully attended mass weekly.
