Animals were always a huge part of Bill's life. Throughout his years, he owned many horses, dogs, and cats, as well as a multitude of other animals. As a 4-H advisor for over 30 years, Bill loaned his horses to several children so they could participate in 4-H horse clubs. He was a member of the Ohio Horseman's Council for 15 years. Bill rode close to 20,000 trail miles and was ranked as one of the top ten trail riders in Ohio for seven years in a row.
