In his younger years, Bill enjoyed fishing and building/launching model rockets with his nephew, Michael.
During the last years of her life, Bill cared for his beloved mother, Anne, which allowed her to live the remainder of her life happily and comfortably at home. At that time, Bill developed a deep friendship with his mom's companion, Frank Scotti, which lasted many years until his passing. Bill also spent his time as a caregiver for his good friends.
