“Every Day is a Little Better” was Bill’s motto always approaching the day with a smile and positive attitude.

Bill served his community in many ways; however he was most proud to have served on the Ouachita Parish School Board, representing District B for 12 years, some of these years serving as School Board President.
Bill’s love of family was evident by the flow of children, grandchildren, and extended family and friends visiting with him in his home. His daughter’s lovingly called him, “Sweet Poppa”.
