For those forty-three years he worked tirelessly to provide for his family and displayed an unwavering support for all of them. Along with beginning his career with JC Penney in 1947, Bill also met and married the love of his life, Molly Jean Guyer. Once he reached retirement, Bill and Molly loved visiting their summer vacation home in St. Augustine, Florida and more importantly spending time with their grandchildren and great grandchildren. Bill was an avid golfer in his retirement and loved cheering on the Atlanta Braves.
