Damn. Bill was a really good guy. Such a loving and proud father to his two daughters. When I was still living in Franklin I met up with him in Foxborough or Walpole to watch his daughter play goalie (she was good!). Like John said, he also really loved hiking with his dogs. He had some nice terrain around him.
I have no idea what his recent health situation was like, but I do know his father’s passing absolutely crushed him. The two of them and their brothers had an annual tradition where they came up to SoCo for 1-2 weeks in the Fall. The last time I saw Bill we were running back and forth chasing fish from Blue Shutters to FPR. He had tears in his eyes the whole time. But he blind casted up a nice albie on a small atom popper and that made him smile. He thanked his Dad after releasing the fish and then sat down for a while.
RIP Bill. You were a cool guy taken way too young. You will certainly be missed. God Bless your family and many friends. Tight lines
