In retirement he enjoyed woodworking and remodeling the house and took great pride in all of his work.

Outside of work, William embraced life with enthusiasm. He loved to swim, loved the joys of camping, and had an unmistakable fondness for rock and roll music.

His favorite summer activities were going to Summerfair, WEBN Fireworks and hosting get togethers with family and friends.

His family was his greatest treasure, and he cherished every moment spent with them. William is also survived by his siblings, Greg Loring and Linda Paulus, nieces and nephews, and ex-wife and friend Sandra Loring.
