He is now reunited with his eternal companion, Lovern Kimball, who passed away six years ago after 57 years of marriage. Bill was the Son of Arthur G. McIntyre and Sadie R.

Railroad with his Father and then branched off into a business of his own. This business eventually took him to Visalia, California where he later found greater satisfaction in employment with Montgomery Ward Department Store where he was one of the top sales people in the State of California for several years. He worked in that capacity until his retirement. Bill was a lifetime member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Bill was an avid bowler, participating in many professional tournaments and leagues and for many years was recognized as the top bowler in Visalia. Due to the declining health of his wife, Lovern, they moved to Salt Lake City and resided together for a time at the Atria Assisted living facility where their daughter Sharon was employed and could see to their care. He was preceded in death by his parents Arthur and Sadie McIntyre, sister, Elsie Capel, and his three half brothers, Oscar, Ralph and Gordon Vilet.
