William (Bill) Benjamin Gill was born May 11, 1959 in Anniston Alabama at Anniston Memorial Hospital.

He flew to many overseas destinations, which he truly enjoyed. He was loved by all his staff and created many lasting friendships with his crew members.
Bill had a strong love for music. He was a skilled guitar, harmonica, and piano player. He was known for traveling with a guitar or harmonica and joining a live band on stage to accompany them in a live performance or would break out in song for anyone who would listen.
Bill was loved for his great jovial personality, love for his co-workers, and many friends. He never met a stranger; everyone was his friend. Bill had much love for his granddaughter, Vivian, and was known for sharing her photos with his crew members and customers.
