After high school, Bill enlisted in the USAF and began a 40-year active duty career culminating in the rank of Lt. Colonel. As a military intelligence officer Bill served many years overseas. During this time he completed a B.S. as well as an M.B.A., also graduating with honors from USAF and national agency courses. Bill was the recipient of many medals and commendations.

In addition to his wife, Jane, Bill is survived by sons, Michael and William; daughter, Bonnie; step-daughters, Emily and Holly; step-son, Clark, and ten grandchildren.
