After 34 years service at Combustion Engineering, he retired at age 55, but continued to do international consulting with Combustion style businesses. His favorites were operations in Cornwall, Canada and Kings Mountain, North Carolina.

W. C. loved to work. He was fortunate to have been retired for 36 years (more years than he had worked.) His early retirement gave him the opportunity to do many projects.

W. C. loved to raise cattle on his farm in Rock Spring.

He was key in the restoration of Cove Methodist Church, where he was a member for over 50 years. He, along with two other men, built the Sunday School Annex.

Extensive genealogy research confirmed that W. C. was the longest lived Fine in the last 550 years. He was 91 years old.

But more than anything else, he was a Good Man.
