He attended Cardinal Stritch, Macomber Technical/Vocational, then Waite High Schools. He dropped out of Waite and joined the U.S. Marine Corps on August 31, 1972, where he completed his high School education and was Honorably discharged as an E-3 on August 30, 1974.

Bill married in 1981, and that marriage produced two boys in 1982 and 1985, then the marriage ended in divorce. Bill never married again.

Bill had many jobs in his life, as he seemed to be a jack of all trades, yet master of none! It is believed that the longest employment he had was that at a car dealership in the finance department in the Cleveland, Ohio area for over 10 years.

Bill took up residence at a VA Long Term Care Facility in February, 2023, where he remained until after a cancer diagnosis. He was then transferred to a Northwest Ohio Hospice facility January 8, 2024, and passed away Sunday evening, January 14, 2024, at the age of 69.

Bill was preceded in death by his parents; older sisters, Patrica (Pat) Reganall, Mickey (Helen) Miller; and brother in-law, Jeffrey "Jeff" Detwiler; nephews, John Miller Jr. and Troy Reganall.

He is survived by his sister, Joan E Detwiler, who served as his guardian since November 2022. An estranged son, Brian McNally; a granddaughter and grandson; brothers in-law, John Miller, Dean Reganall; nieces, Jennifer Jimenez-Miller, Wendy Reganall Arnold, Dawn Detwiler Monnette, Erica Detwiler Suto-Kaiser, Malissa Detwiler Richter (Goddaughter) and Jeanine Detwiler Sondergeld.
