"Unca Will" was especially proud of his 3 years ('42-'45) in the Army and service in Iran where he was a member of the Persian Gulf Command. He also spent 9 months in France, during WWII where he met one of the two loves if his life. Although he never married he also spent over 20 years with Mrs "Cookie" Cronholm of Salinas and spoke fondly of her often.
He spent most of his life as a carpenter and general contractor and continued to build until his 87th year. He also spent a good portion of his youth trapping in the mountains behind S B and would even skip school to go hiking the three mountain ranges.

" And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched for nothing loved Is ever lost and he was loved so much."
