Bill, a Biloxi native, was born 8/17/1935 to William (Doc) and Eleanor (Nana). After graduating from Notre Dame High School he attended Springhill College in Mobile and graduated with a bachelors degree in Business Administration from the University of Southern Mississippi. From 1957 to 1961 he served as a Chaplain’s Assistant in the US Army in Europe. After discharge from the Army, he worked at Chevron. In 1964 he married his wife, Nancy Lynn Castle and a year later his son, John Thomas, was born.

He later became an independent petroleum landman working for several different companies in MS, LA and Texas.

His many passions were travel, golf, watching his beloved Saints, spoiling his son, his nieces and nephews, and visiting with friends at the coffee shop and Outback.

Survivors include his son, John Thomas of Ridgeland; sister Anne Toups of Ocean Springs, 11 nieces and nephews and 12 great nieces and nephews.

The family would like to extend its heartfelt gratitude for the love, care and support given to Bill by the ladies at Assisting Angels.
