After his retirement from the police force, Bill remained active and spent many years painting and wallpapering for Chmielowiec Painting and United Memorial Medical Center. In retirement Bill did what he did best….enjoying his family, following the NY Yankees and catching up on the latest news at the Polka Dot or as he affectionately called it the “office”.

Bill leaves behind his  daughters and son in-laws Kellie and David DiVincenzo, Karin and Brett Wormley, his brother Kenneth J. Lewis, brother-in-law James (Joan) Adams, sister-in-law Sue Lewis, his grandchildren who are his pride and joy, Hailey Paige, Brooke, Chloe & Drew Wormley, Mary and Leigh DiVincenzo, great grandson William Fountain IV, mother of his daughters Diane Smith Lewis, his favorite four legged grand-pups Sammy and Luke, special nieces and nephews Susan, Michael, Shelley, Kathy, Kim, Danny, Marie, Patty and Neil, as well as their spouses and many great nieces and nephew.
