Bill, with his family, moved to Hancock Lake Resort in June of 1964. He played in a band called the “Mad Lads” in his last years of high school up North.

They remained together until her death in September of 2025. 

Bill enjoyed fishing, hunting, boating, snowmobiling, and drag racing. He enjoyed spending time with his family, extended family, and his car club friends. His true passion was cars, specifically classic muscle cars. He was a member of the Summer Knights Car Club in Tomahawk. In his earlier days, Bill would be found racing at Rock Falls Race Way and Wisconsin International Raceway. In his later days, Bill enjoyed attending and showing his cars in local car shows, having received many trophies and awards.
