He served 2 years in the Army Medical Corp at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Maryland. The family returned to Long Beach, where he joined his father at Obispo Medical Clinic and became the 3rd generation Dr. Stanton, caring for patients. Dr. Bill loved the White Mountains of Arizona, the Sunlight Basin of Wyoming, sailing to Catalina as well as the many travels to the 4 corners of the world. He delighted in sharing his love of history with the family, especially the little known facts to make a castle or battlefield come alive. Bill was also passionate about the daily crosswords and a good game of bridge. He will be missed. Please sign the guestbook at www.presstelegram.com/obits
