Following his career in the U.S. Navy, Bill worked as a nuclear engineering technician at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, ME. He retired after 35 years of service in 2010.
Bill had many hobbies and passions, including cooking, fishing, Scotch tasting, beer brewing, D&D dungeon mastering, and Thanksgiving turkey carving. He loved movies, Tina Turner’s music, and novels by Stephen King.

Jonathan & Chris, I’m so sorry for your loss, your parents were amazing, most of my childhood was either watching movies at y’alls place with Taco Popcorn, or playing outdoors games, while all the parents hung out on their lawn drinking coffee.

To Donna,
I did not know you were married to Bill. It was my pleasure to have him work for me on one of the trips in 1983 to Groton CT.
He was a pleasure to have working for me. Great sense of humor and great work ethics.
I’m nit sure if you remember me, but you and I dated a few times back in 1968 – 69.
My condolences to you and your family.
Also, if you have any problems with his shipyard retirement, I may have a few contacts that can help you.
