Bill was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he graduated in the first graduating class of Moeller High school in 1964. After high school Bill attended Ohio University until he chose to serve his country and enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps. He completed two tours in Vietnam, advancing to the rank of Sergeant.  During his time in Vietnam he exchanged letters with Linda, whom he would later ask to be his wife.

After returning from his service, Bill completed his bachelor's degree at University of Cincinnati as a triple major while working in the accounting department at Kings Island Amusement Park.  Bill continued in accounting and served as CFO with Samuels Products until his retirement.  His greatest accomplishment was raising his kids and he took tremendous pride in his grandchildren.  He will be remembered for his love of family, work ethic, blue jeans and plaid shirt.
