Bill was in the Oklahoma City Public School System as a Teacher, Counselor and Assistant Principal. He and his family moved to San Antonio in 1968 to accept a position of Counselor at San Antonio College with the rank of Assistant Director, and then the Acting Director of the Department.

He is currently a member of the First Baptist Church of Helotes. He lived his life to honor the Lord and was a faithful servant. Bill was the rock of our family, the one we could count on for advice with wisdom and kindness. He was such a blessing to so many people ~ words cannot express how much he will be missed.

Bill is survived by his loving family, including great-grandchildren, Kylie Grace and his name sake, Brody William Fisher.
