Just because he had health issues, it
did not stop his sense of humor. He loved to tell
jokes and you best remember them because he would
get you a second time if you did not pay attention.
His favorite hobby was putting jigsaw puzzles
together every day.
Bill is survived by his sons Michael and Johnny of
Arizona and a daughter Sharon of West Virginia; one
sister Linda Trivisonna and brother George Cash, Jr,
several grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
Bill was a member of Park Meadows Baptist Church in
Lincoln and had been for 20 plus years.

be from 9:30 a.m.-10:00 a.m. prior to the service.
Burial at Camp Butler National Cemetery in
Springfield, will follow the service.
