Bill enjoyed life and he loved his family. He enjoyed spending time with his family. Bill enjoyed hard work and loved working on the farm with his cattle and his horses. He enjoyed riding horses and he loved to hitch his team of mules up to the wagon and go riding. Just spending time outside on his farm with his family was a day well spent in Bill's eyes. He enjoyed coon hunting and raising game chickens. He enjoyed the chicken fights and ran the Moody game club for several years until they had to shut down. Bill touched many lives over the years and will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
