He was a proud veteran, serving his country for six years in the U.S Navy during the Vietnam Era. He graduated from Northwestern Michigan College with an associate's degree in criminal justice.

They were highly involved in their community and helped at the Taste of Muskegon, the Salmon Fest, Irish Fest and numerous others. He truly enjoyed volunteering and giving back to his community and caring for those in need. Bill was also a member of the American Legion and the National Association of EMTs.

Above all things, he loved his wife unconditionally, his children and grandchildren wholeheartedly, and his friends dearly. He will always be remembered for his witty and charming personality and love for Godzilla. His tender-loving and caring spirit will truly be missed by all who knew him.
