He quit high school to join the US Army Air Corps. When he returned, he worked for his father in the garage where they sold Rambler Cars and International Trucks.

At one time, Bill owned the Family Cue in Fairmont and the station at the intersection of Highways 15 and 30. He also took classes in Fairmont which enabled him to teach small engine repair in the high schools. Bill's hobbies were go-kart racing, downhill skiing, riding motorcycles and trap shooting. He loved everything with a motor and strived to make it go faster. After retirement, Bill had an engraving business doing desk signs and name badges. Several years ago, he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure which limited his activities. Bill died on Friday, July 1, 2011 at Mayo Health Systems-Immanuel St. Joseph Hospital, Mankato, MN.
