He later moved to Glen Rose to work as a control operator at the newly constructed Comanche Peak facility while keeping his connection to the outdoors as a rancher and huntsman, with a penchant for horses, roping and the rodeo community.Bill was married in 1982 to Nancy Ann Naegelin with her son, Judson, adding the facet of a loving family into his life that he indoctrinated into his appreciation of the outdoors and horses.
