Bill graduated high school in 1968, and went on to serve in the United States Army for 14 months where he drove tanks. After returning home from his military service, Bill would go on to work and retire from General Motors.
In 1979, Bill married the love of his life, Linda. He was a loving father to her five children; grandfather to ten children and great-grandfather to many great-grandchildren. Bill and Linda traveled the country showcasing their woodworking business, Shades of Country, at various craft shows. They always made sure to hit up the nearby casinos during their adventures.
Bill is preceded in death by his wife Linda, step-daughter Angela, and his parents Harvey and Jeanette.
Bill's dry sense of humor, sarcastic nature, and love will forever be missed.
