He resided with his parents and sister Wanda on a farm near Berlin until adulthood. Bill was an avid boxer winning the YMCA’s “quickest knockout” trophy award. On January 21, 1950, Bill married LaVerne Kusserow of New London, Wisconsin. Bill and La Verne enjoyed 64 years of marital bliss.

In 1952 and 1953, Bill earned the rank of corporal in the United States Army serving in the Korean War. From 1954 until 1984, Bill worked for the Wisconsin Department of Corrections in Waupun, Wisconsin earning the rank of Supervisor and Captain. Wife LaVerne and Bill retired to Pine Island, Florida in 1984 where he was an active member of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. His wife LaVerne remains a Florida resident.
