William joined the Army at the age of 17 and proudly served his country in Vietnam where he reached the rank of Staff Sargent. He then joined his brother and father in the family construction business, where he served as co-owner of Greg Construction Company for 44 years. William always put God and put family first throughout his life. He enjoyed taking long rides into the country with his family and showing them all the construction jobs he had completed. His family is proud of what he has accomplished and the legacy he left behind. We love you Dad/Grandpa!
