Bill built up a successful ranch operation over the years while teaching his children the value of hard work. While the ranch grew, he worked many other jobs to provide for his family, including, laborer, service station attendant, school bus driver, chemical plant operator, etc. He is remembered by his children for his honest and hard working example, his love of the outdoors, riding the range and hunting and fishing, working cattle and especially his love of horses. No one built or maintained better fences. In later years he was an avid Jazz fan, and he and Darlene were able to attend a Jazz home game in SLC last winter. Never one to sit around, up to his last week he was busily engaged in keeping up the yard and in making leather goods for friends and family. He wore himself out keeping busy and doing good deeds. He will be greatly missed by his family, adopted family, and many friends and acquaintances.
