Bill graduated from Kearsley High School Class of 1986 and attended Ferris State University and Baker College.
Bill was an extraordinary athlete in multiple sports. He was a captain of the Kearsley Varsity Hockey team in his senior year of High School, and he helped lead the team to the Big 9 championship and the State regional championship. In 1986 he held the title for most goals (14) for a defenseman in one season. In the same season he also held the title for most points (8) as a defenseman in a state tournament. He also had the honor of playing for the Kearsley Varsity hockey team as a High School freshman, an honor not bestowed to many. Kearsley Varsity Hockey also won the State regional championship in 1983. Bill also played on the golf and tennis team for Kearsley High School. He received many sports honors and accolades during his High School years.
Bill was an avid Lions football fan, U of M football fan, and Red Wings fan. As a youngster Bill would rush home from school to devour the sports page. He could recite most sports statistics with ease.
Bill was quite a talented golfer and enjoyed golf up until the time of his passing. His enthusiasm for golf started at an early age with Flint Junior golf. A great accomplishment for Bill was that he scored a hole-in-one on a 200-yard par 3.
