William, perpetual jokester, loved life. He enjoyed traveling here in the States and through Spain, France and Italy in Europe. But of all the places he visited; New Orleans was his favorite. He enjoyed kayaking, frisbee golfing, skateboarding, video games, family gatherings and snowboarding. But William’s favorite times were spent camping and sitting around the bonfire having a beer with his buddies.
