He was a proud graduate of the University of Tennessee and the University of Georgia School of Law where he served on the prestigious Law Review. Bill loved being an attorney and served many in this area for over thirty years.
Bill’s love of music was well-known to his friends and family. Attending the weekly “picking” a the Shed was a highlight for him. His love of all things Tennessee Vols was legendary.
