Bill graduated from Seneca High School in 1980 and joined the US Navy prior to starting his trucking career.

Bill drove trucks all his life following in the footsteps of his father, and he loved it! He spent the past 5 years at Larry Williams trucking where he was recognized many times for his achievements with the company. He loved telling jokes to make people laugh or turn your face 10 shades red! He loved cooking and grilling and smoking foods and trying new recipes. Bill was very proud of his Moonshine Making skills and loved sharing with friends and family. Bill also enjoyed fishing and the outdoors. "Uncle Bill", "Willie", "Dad", "Bill", or "Crazy Bill", no matter the nickname, he made an impact in all of those who knew him, and he loved them all.

A Celebration of Life will be held on April 1st, 2025 at 1:00pm at the New Bethel Cemetery in Anderson Mo. The Celebration will be for family and friends to celebrate his life and enjoy memories.
