Bill attended Niagara University in upstate NY and played baseball there all 4 years. He moved to Charlotte in 1996 as an ADP sales rep, more recently he had just started a new and exciting career at Lumen Technology. In 1996, he became very involved in Charlotte Sports and Social, where many good friendships developed that have lasted over 25 years. He met Patti in 1997 and married in 2000. They were blessed with 2 children, Megan in 2001 then Mac in 2003. Bill was an amazing dad and husband for 22 years – they cherished this time together. Bill’s passions in life included family, raising his kids, coaching them, golfing (with his Providence CC friends, son, wife, brothers, nephews, or anyone willing to take him on). Golfing was a big part of who he was – and we loved that about him. He found great joy in the sport and great camaraderie. He loved spending time at the beaches of DeBordieu, with Patti’s family. Another passion of his was sports especially football – it started with the Panther’s and more recently the Gamecock’s. Bill loved to tailgate with family and friends, he also coached and enjoyed watching his kids play sports, Mac with soccer and Megan with field hockey – that gave him the most pleasure. He never missed a game! Bill was a great father, husband, and friend – he will be truly missed by many. Our hearts are broken. Patti and the kids are extremely grateful for all the love, care and support they have received this week. It is truly amazing; they feel so loved in this most difficult time.
