on April 7, 2021.
  William served our country in the United States Army during World War 
II. His military occupational specialty was Truck Driver, Light (345). 
William was awarded the European-African-Middle Eastern Ribbon with 
three bronze service stars and bronze arrowhead, the American Theater

testament to his valiant and honorable service in defense of our 
nation.
  In addition to serving in the Army, William also was a farmer and 
school bus driver. Most importantly, he had a loving family. William is 
survived by children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, step-
grandchildren, and many other loving family members.
  I would like to thank William for his service to our country and 
community.
