Bill grew up in Westbrook, graduating from Westbrook High School in the class of 1968. He went on to further his education through technical training earning his Journeyman's credentials. Bill went on to proudly serve in the Navy for nearly 4 years during Vietnam. Following his honorable discharge he began his career as a sheet metal worker and was a member of Local #17 in MA. He was a skilled tradesman who took pride in his hard work. On April 29, 1978, he married Debra Arsenault and the two made their home in Standish, raising their family.
