Bill Pressley was born in Montgomery, Alabama and graduated from Robert E. Lee High School. He worked and had a great career in the grocery business serving for many years as manager of Delchamps. He later was a salesperson in the food industry. Although he had a great career, his most treasured accomplishment was being a loving and dedicated husband to his wife and as a father to his two children. He was also a proud PaPaw to his grandchildren, Trae and Trevor and great grandchildren, Waylon and Kolter. Bill was a man of faith and passed that on to his family and everyone he met. He was a very present father and grandfather as he never missed an opportunity to be at any event that his children and grandchildren participated in. His greatest joy was time spent with family. He loved deeply and took every opportunity to tell and show that to his family. He lived out his legacy of faith, family, and love. He and his wife, Mary Lou were faithful members of Eastmont Baptist Church.
