His was the highest scorer in his recruiting class and he served with distinction. Following his service, he returned to Louisville and began working at General Electric.

Always a person of many interests, he was a softball player in many Louisville leagues, bowler, an avid reader, collector, and hobbyist. He knew a great deal about many topics, particularly sports and military history. In recent years he had enjoyed reunions with fellow Marines. After his retirement, Bill took to exploring Louisville by bus and by foot, walking long distances and visiting new places, especially coffee shops where he could read, and meeting people on these small adventures. He was proud of his ability to navigate the city in this way and how fit he became in doing so. He had planned to take classes in history and painting and to collect his own memories in the form of a book.
