Bill was an avid reader, lover of history and military
history.  He served in the Marine Corps during the
Korean conflict, earning the rating of Master Sergeant
before discharge.  He attended both Washington State
University, Pullman and completed the majority of his
education at the University of Washington, Seattle.

enjoyed a good story and held firm position as the
family historian, always remembering the dates and
places.  He will be missed.
