Bill attended Columbus Academy, Miami University and The Ohio State University. He was raised in the trucking industry. He then started with his mother and father’s company, Retail Merchants Delivery. He later started his own trucking company with his dear friend Greg Buckey, National Highway Express.

Over the years, Bill and Betty traveled the world with many close friends and relatives. Bill loved to cook and play golf with his friends in Columbus and later with friends and neighbors in Dunedin, Florida, where he was known on the golf course as “Billy 2 Dots.”

Bill was kind, caring, generous and a true gentleman with a great sense of humor. He will be truly missed by everyone who knew him.
