Bill joined the US Army in 1961 and served overseas in Germany until 1963, but continued his service in the Reserves until 1967. After his service in the US Army Bill had a 42 year career at Bethlehem Steel while raising his two children, Denise Fox and Kevin Daley. In 1983, Bill met his soulmate Norma; and gained his two step children, Cheryl and Dale Lindstrom. Bill and Norma have spent 40 years sharing all the good and bad that life brought them together. During their 40 years together, they enjoyed traveling to Las Vegas and Florida, spending weekends at his cabin, dancing together, and spending time with friends. Bill was an avid golfer and spent every nice day that he could on the golf course with friends.
