Bill was a lifelong member of St. Gabriel Catholic Church. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus, NRA, and the Eagles. He worked at Ford/Visteon for 35 years. Everyone also knew him to be very patriotic, often wearing red on Fridays in honor of the military.

In his leisure, he loved to fish and watch NASCAR races. Bill was also an avid blood donor.
