Bill lived for 65 years on the family farm. He lived for farming, loved cutting wood and making maple syrup. He enjoyed a good green apple fight or corn cob fight, picking red trilliums, snowmobiling, playing hockey, fishing at the pond, cutting wood in the Hatchley swamp with his trusty tractor Christine and watching wrestling and Nascar. When possible, he enjoyed going to the various area tractor pulls with his good buddies Gill, Howard, Andy, Bernie and Dinky. Didn’t really enjoy his dip in the Ottawa River at John & Natalie Hedden’s wedding, but he survived that and many other accidents.
