Born January 22, 1981, in Latrobe, he was the son of Eric John and Julie Anne Perfetti Tegethoff.

Bill ran The Rock Falls Open, a yearly golf outing of family and friends, which helped honor his brother James' memory. He also played in an adult amateur hockey league. The team's name, Perfetti Boots, was in honor of his maternal grandparents.
