Bill had an impact in the lives of those he served, and they in his.

Bill currently worked for Associated Food Stores as the Vice President of Fresh Foods. Bill often referred to his career as a “banana stacker” but truly exemplified the American dream through his strong work ethic and leadership roles. Bill had extensive business intellect and so many cherished relationships throughout his career. His leadership was far-reaching as he made personal connections with everyone he worked with and often referred to his co-workers as his work family.

Bill often showed his love in the form of pranking. His laugh was contagious and brought smiles to everyone, even those being pranked. Bill would often say “I only live to entertain myself,” but those who knew him knew he loved brightening other people's days. He was also known to give unique nicknames to many, which was often felt as a term of endearment. Bill was a captivating storyteller that drew people to him. Among his many loves of sports, Diet Pepsi, and classic rock, he loved people the most. To know Bill was to love Bill and to feel his exceptional love for everyone he met.
