His family moved to the northeastern part of Spokane while he was a young boy.

He graduated from John R. Rodgers High School in June 1967 and then joined the U.S. Navy.

He served on active duty until 1969 and was transferred into an inactive reservist unit until he received his Honorable Discharge from the Navy.

This is where he met his wife, Bobbie.

They were married on February 7, 1969 and remained married for 45 years.

Along with work, Bill also enjoyed his hobbies of working with computers, classic car repair, riding motorcycles, and driving.
