His many leisure activities include a membership in the Royal Canadian Legion where he enjoyed fellowship and playing darts. Also, he enjoyed playing Karaoke at other clubs.

From a young age Bill owned several interesting cars ... a 1950 Prefect, a 1934 Ford coupe, 1947 Monarch red convertible, 1952 Lincoln, Mustang, Thunderbird and the old black jeep. Bill was a good mechanic and enjoyed working on his vehicles.
