From sailing Iron Bottom Sound at Guadalcanal in his homemade boat to surviving an electrical storm that left him temporarily paralyzed, the war formed memories Bill would never forget.At the age of 95, Bill contracted Covid-19 in March of 2020. He entered Providence Newberg Medical Center with body aches, fever, and upper respiratory infection.
