William was also a part of the senior boys’ choir in high school, although he was a freshman at the time.

William was an avid roller skater and truly enjoyed bowling on the weekends with the family in the bowling league. He was always up to a challenge when it came to these two hobbies. William had a smile that always lit up the room and would make you to smile back. He had a caring heart and would always be there for his family and friends when needed.
