Bill was born on February 21, 1956 in Dallas, TX to the late William Wilson, Jr. and Carrie Dendy Bolls. Bill loved his family with all his heart. Cindy, Jennifer, Michael, Daniel, Payton and Cole were the loves of his life after Jesus. His sister, Mary Anne, was his best friend. He was a good friend to so many. Always had a smile on his face and always funny. He kept us laughing. He loved sailing, Nascar, motorcycles, the Dallas Cowboys, and the Texas Longhorns, and animals, especially a favorite dog, Moe Moe, and our current dog, Daisy. As a Boy Scout he helped with clean-up after Hurricane Camille in 1969 and helped clean-up again after Hurricane Katrina. Bill retired on May 27, 2021 and was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma on July 6, 2021. Bill fought so hard to overcome this disease so he could spend more time with us.
