As a talented mechanic, he was known and loved by so many in our community through at Howland Auto Service, the family business founded by his parents in the1960's.

Bill’s love for music was as strong as his love for NASCAR racing, attending numerous concerts and races over the years. One of the highlights of his life was the adventure of building 2 racecars with one of his best friends. They had a blast racing them in Eastern North Carolina along with all the fun times along the way.
