It was at Meditest that Bill met his lovely wife of 27 years, Lacy. Lacy and Bill became a blended family with a total of 5 children where Bill treated every child as if they were his own.

Bill loved his dogs, cooking, gardening, movies, football, good restaurants, and serving at Providence Christian Church. He was a member of the Houston Association of Legal Professionals, LICOMA, as well as the Free Masons. But his greatest joy was bringing smiles to the faces of children as a clown at Shriners Hospital in Houston, Texas.
