After graduating high school, Bill attended the Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. There he received his bachelor degree and went on to get his medical degree at University of Illinois in Chicago. He completed a residency in Ophthalmology in St. Louis at Washington University.
It was here that he met Anita Harris who he married on November 26th, 1960. Before moving to Dallas and setting up his practice, Bill served in the Air Force and was stationed in Tripoli, Libya.
He was a well-respected physician and was able to lecture all around the world. He also enjoyed traveling with his family and friends.
Bill loved to fish and sometimes even caught fish that he could brag about. However, he mostly just enjoyed spending time with his fishing pals and talking about his family. Bill will be remembered as a humble and kind man who always thought of others first.
He leaves behind two sons, Bill and Jeff, and three grandchildren.
Visitation will be held at Sparkman-Hillcrest Funeral Home on Friday, December 6, from 6 to 8 p.m. The funeral service will be on Saturday, December 7, at 12 p.m.
