Bill's passion was camping with friends at the Sacandaga Campground, where he enjoyed boating and golfing at the Bend of the River Golf Course.

In addition to his parents, William was predeceased by his brother Patrick Reedy and his Aunt Jane Gillespie. Bill was a beloved husband, brother, father and grandfather.
