He was a professional body builder and personal trainer for several years. He competed in several body building competitions and as a personal trainer at Gold’s Gym. He was baptized at an early age and later joined From the Heart Church Ministries where he served as a spiritual warrior in the church and his community. He always had a good spiritual word to share with his family, friends, and neighbors. William was married to his loving wife Alda Proctor for over 20 years. They shared many happy years together. He took the responsibility of her primary caretaker when she came down with her illness. William was truly an amazing man with a big personality that shined brightly wherever he would go.
