“Although William often played toughs and strongmen, in his actual life he was an elegant man with a brilliant intellect who loved to argue about politics and current affairs, discuss philosophy and physics and assert fine-pointed opinions about art and poetry,” his wife composed.

“He was a giant of a man with the soul of a poet, one who ‘contained…a tension of sorts within his being…like a boulder teetering on a hill…or a balloon expanding towards its extreme,’ as one friend put it.”

“The family requests you toast his memory and celebrate his legacy,” Sigrid’s obituary concluded.

From the beginning of the “SoA” series in 2008 through the fourth season in 2011, he played the character of biker Piney Winston who is the oldest member and most senior adviser of the biker club. He wore an oxygen tank on the program and appeared to have slowed down as the season progressed.

Aside from Sigrid, his two daughters, Marjet Lucking and Juliana Ryan, as well as Juliana’s husband and two kids, Quinlan and Lilian, survive him.
