Bill proudly served his country in the United States Navy.  After his tour of duty, Bill was the owner and operator of a trucking company throughout his life.

He was a member of the Shriners and also the Masonic Lodge.  Bill loved to restore classic cars and ride his Harley. He enjoyed making jokes and did his best to make everyone laugh. He also enjoyed the outdoors, his dogs, Jasmine and Bentley, chocolate filled éclairs and his fifteen pounds of banana pudding. Bill loved his grandchildren.  His daughter, Angel, was Daddy's Little Girl no matter how old she was.  He loved his son-in-law, Joey, and told him he was the son he never had.  Bill took care of his mother until his health began to fail.  He was a kind and caring man and was a true gentleman.
