Bill graduated from Spring Valley High School before attending Midlands Technical College where he earned is associate degree.

Bill enjoyed spending his days as Post Commander of the Elbow Lake Legion Post 321 and was a devoted member of the Elbow Lake Baptist Church for eight years.
He enjoyed visiting Holden Beach, spending time with his dogs: Bella, Nina, Samie and Roxie, and cheering on his favorite football teams, the Clemson Tigers and The NDSU Bison. He could often be seen sporting a pair of cowboy boots and a large belt buckle. Culvers and Chick-Fil-A were his favorite places to go grab a large sweet tea, which he drank like it was going out of style! Bill was a caring man who loved the Lord beyond measure and enjoyed sharing God’s word through the end of his days.
