William grew up in Spencer Township, and attended lrwin Elementary and Spencer-Sharples High
Schools. He liked to play video games and read the Bible to his children. He enjoyed the very fast and

original places. He had a passion for classic cars, and owned a few himself. When time permitted, he
would show off his ``classic(s)" and gather with other enthusiasts.

Ensley.
