Most of that time he spent as Store Manager at the Walmart Supercenter in Chambersburg, PA. He was involved in many charitable organizations including Kiwanis of Chambersburg.

He was devout Christian and had a strong relationship with the Lord. He modeled his life around one of his favorite verses, 1 Thessalonians 5:17. Bill attended church and served as a deacon at The Open Door Church and Charity Baptist Church. Bill was an avid reader and loved a good book. But most of all he loved spending time with his family and playing with his grandson, Liam. Bill was always altruistic touching the lives of many. He will be remembered for his generous nature and kind heart.
