William was a hard worker and great provider. Occasionally, he would work at the mill, followed by the farm and then go help Janet deliver the Telegraph Journal. They had their first daughter, Ashlee in December of 1988. He was so proud and excited and was a very hands on father; it didn't matter if it was feeding, rocking or changing diapers; he wanted to be involved. In November of 1995, their second daughter, Jenna was born. He loved her on sight and she became daddy's baby girl.
