Bill worked as a credit manager after graduating with a business degree from the University of Toledo. He spent more than 20 years with Ohio Plate Glass followed by about 10 years with Estech/Vigoro. He was a lifetime member of the NACM.

The family requests no flowers, but rather a donation may be given to the St. Vincent de Paul Society, Sunshine Children's Home, or Heartbeat of Toledo, all very close to his heart.
