From early on, Bill loved the beach. He began the family tradition of going to Rehoboth Beach every summer, where they would spend all day at the beach, going crabbing, playing card games, and going to the Crab Shack to eat steaming crabs before heading to the Boardwalk. Whether it was Rehoboth, Dewey, or Long Beach Island, Bill shared his love of the beach with his family, Jeanne’s family, nieces and nephews and their children. He created so many memories for all his family.
