He was born and raised in Delaware, and then entered the military as a young man. He served his country faithfully in the United States Army for twenty years, retiring in 1967, with the rank of Sergeant. During his military service, he was stationed in Korea and Germany, and this gave Bill and Doris time to travel extensively all over Europe. Bill and Doris then moved to St. Charles, Missouri, and Bill worked for McDonnell Douglas Aircraft until retiring in the late 1980’s. In 1994, they moved to Lebanon, Missouri, to enjoy their retirement years.
