He was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, having great faith in Jesus Christ, the prophetic calling of Joseph Smith, and the Book of Mormon. He enjoyed working in the Salt Lake LDS Temple and worked diligently on family history.
Bill's passion for music allowed him to touch the lives of many, as a teacher, mentor, student, performer, and composer.

He also enjoyed watching movies, reading literature, and eating good food. He was a loyal and entertaining friend to many.
Bill was humble and caring. Despite the many challenges and trials in Bill's life, he endeavored to have a positive outlook and to lift those around him. His most important roles in life were those of husband and father, where his impact was immeasurable. While we mourn his death, we hope to be together with him again someday.
