Bill was an avid Browns fan, even after throwing many jerseys away. He loved the Buckeyes and the Cleveland Indians (Guardians). He was a great supporter of all the Struthers Wildcat sports. He worked at Sohio on the Ohio Turnpike, McCrudden Heating Supply of Youngstown, Youngstown Osteopathic Hospital, Belmont Pines and MASCO workshops.
