Some years after his first wife died, Bill met and married his soul mate, Twyla. After 35 years of living in Southern California, he and his wife retired and moved to Prescott. Here he found a plethora of friends and spent many happy times playing golf and kibitzing with his "coffee buddies several mornings each week. He was a fun-spirited sportsman who loved to hunt and fish, never letting the BIG one getaway.
