Bill had a wonderful full life- a graduate from Windham High School he excelled in sports, music and academics.
Bill followed his dreams to study Engineering at The Ohio State University. He graduated with honors in the five-year Engineering program. His Industrial Engineering Career brought him to be a lifelong resident of the area. While studying at OSU, he met and dated the love of his life Frances “Fran” H. Walker.
