For over 45 years, Bill was employed at Hillsdale Tool, retiring as the manager of the prototype department. From 1971-1994, he also owned and operated the Andy Adams Sale Barn at the Hillsdale County Fair. Bill formerly taught courses at Hillsdale College, attended St. Anthony Catholic Church, and was a member of the City of Hillsdale tax review board. He was an avid car enthusiast, taking many car trips across the country with various car clubs. Bill also enjoyed traveling and spending time working in his perfectly manicured yard.
