At 6'7", William was a gentle giant who touched the souls of everybody he met. He had a very giving spirit and has literally given the shirt off his back to someone. He made others laugh and smile no matter where he was and everybody that he knew, or even met briefly, has a funny story about him.
William loved to barbeque and would fire up the grill at a moment's noticea€"even in the middle of December. He was also quite a seafood lover. He was an amazing cook who was also a regular at many seafood and ethnic restaurants. He loved chocolate above all other sweets.
