He graduated high school in 1957 from Clayton ISD in Clayton, Oklahoma and then graduated from Southeastern Oklahoma State University. He worked as a dispatcher with Bell Helicopter for over 33 years, where his dedication and work ethic earned him high praises and comments about how they needed more employees like him. In July of 1982 Bill married Norma Eddings in Gainesville, Texas. He enjoyed buying and selling property and was a big OU fan.

He is survived by his daughter, Candace Oliver and her husband, Jeff of Whitesboro; sister, Edythe Ryan; grandchildren, Devin Roberson, Ryan Roberson and Taylor Wade. Five great-grandchildren, Lyla, Sophie, Penelope, Wyatt and Lane Roberson.

Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Calvin and Hazle Stowe, wife, Norma Stowe, and brother, Paul Stowe.
