Bill and Judy loved to travel and visited many places in the U.S., Europe, Asia and exotic places such as Easter Island, Machu Picchu and the Amazon River. He was an avid Red Sox fan and loved baseball in any form, attending his grandsons’ Little League games until his illness made it too difficult.

He also enjoyed playing in the IslandWalk Bocce League for many years.
