Bill was born on May 3, 1951, in Walsenburg Co. In which he grew up to become a well-known member of the community. Following his 26 years of service & dedication as an EMT for the Huerfano County Ambulance & Fire Dept. He was a member of the city council as well as a detention officer, correctional officer, Bail Bondsman & lifelong Truck Driver. He sure did love his truck. He met his wife & her children in 1986 marrying in 1996. He loved his time with family and friends. He had a kind heart, unforgettable laugh & a smile that was contagious. It was hard to ever be anything but happy when he was around. He just had a way of making you feel better & he will be so dearly missed by everyone who had the honor of being part of his life. His Sense of humor, sarcasm & positive outlook towards every situation was inspiring & admired by everyone he knew. Bill was just a amazing man who made this world a better place.
With a grateful yet heavy heart the family would like to thank Sharmar Village Care Center & New Century Hospice for their time and services, as well as Boies-Ortega Funeral home who is taking care of arrangements. Per Williams request cremation has taken place & a celebration of life will be scheduled & announced at a later time. As William rides through the gates of Heaven in his Dodge pickup truck he leaves us with this, C-ya later, I love you too, be careful, Love you too Daddy…. Rest easy & free!
