Bill worked at the Iowa Veterans Home for several years as a boiler tech. He most recently worked at Thomas L. Cardella & Associates (TLC) as a call center representative.

He was an umpire for softball and baseball in Marshalltown, both at the Sixth Street Softball Complex and for high school games. Bill was an Iowa Hawkeye and LA Dodgers fan. He enjoyed attending football and basketball games in Iowa City, and even made it to Los Angeles to see the Dodgers win a game!
