Bill was a member of Farmington United Methodist Church, and a member of Farmington Masonic Lodge #265 A.F. & A.M. for 50 years. He worked with his dad, training bird dogs. From 1965 to 2014, he had worked in trucking, it was during this time that he moved to Altamonte Springs, FL for 40 years to help build Ball Motor Line in Sanford, FL. On September 2, 1972, he married the love of his life; they would have celebrated 50 years this year. Together, they enjoyed traveling, visiting lighthouses and seeing the sights wherever they were.
