In 2009, after 11 years of kidney problems, Bill South Carolina.
was given the miracle gift of life by his dear friend,
Marian Scullion, in the way of a living kidney
donation. This unselfish gesture gave him 11
more years to enjoy life and loved ones, a sacrifice
for which he and his family were (and are)
eternally grateful.

Bill was known for being soft-spoken with a kind
heart and enjoyed in-depth conversations about
“any topic”. He loved the full moos, Edisto Island,
seashells, sunflowers, and family reunions.

Bill is survived by his wife Anne; children Jim,
Stan, Kerry, and their spouses; late son Ben’s
family; 7 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren;
and numerous loving nieces, nephews, and their
families.
