At the age 17, Bill started his journey in life at Fort Brags NC. Where he did a total of 51 jumps from helicopters, airplanes and C141. Learning to cook and loving the outdoors. Bill continues his journey being a cook/chef after he had his honorable discharge from the army. He then became a husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather.
Now at the age of 64 Bill had a life changing experience and was airlifted from Rochester, NY to NYC to the ICU fighting for his life living off of a machine with a balloon pump helping his heart. Bill now needs a heart and double lung transplant. He has recently been accepted into the transplant program for a new heart and lungs.

I wanted to give everyone an update on Bill. I was in NYC and spent a week with him. He is waiting patiently for a heart and 2 lungs. The Dr.'s said all of Bill's numbers are good, although they had to put Bill on a balloon pump. An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a device that helps your heart pump more blood. You may need it if your heart cannot pump enough blood for your body. Let's keep praying the transplant comes soon for Bill. We appreciate the calls, texts, love, and donations. Please keep them coming. All are greatly appreciated.
