William returned to Anaheim, CA with Maxine where they lived until they both retired to New Hampshire in 1990 to be closer to family.

He enjoyed golfing very much, especially at the John P. Larkin Country Club in Windsor. He played golf until he was 89. He also very much enjoyed horse & dog races. Most of all, he loved spending time with his wife and family. He was smart and always gave great advice. He also had a great sense of humor and the best smile.

He was the kindest man there was. He was a true example of everything a man could be. He graciously filled the shoes of husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He took such good care of his family. He was a solid example of gentleness and steadfastness. A true gift of God's sustaining love.
