They lived in Long Beach from 1979 until their passing. His wife passed away peacefully at home next to her husband in 2007 of acute respiratory failure due to sleep apnea she had been battling for many years. William “Bill” was a very hard working family man who loved his wife, daughters and grandchildren with all his heart. He had a great sense of humor that could light up a room any given time of day. He had a passion in life for music, sports and cooking. Bill was diagnosed with cancer in 2013 and beat it and then diagnosed again in 2016, only to loose the battle the second time.
