Bill attended Manheim Township High School in Lancaster, PA before graduating from Emory University in Atlanta, GA. He enjoyed a fulfilling career in hospitality with Marriott hotels. His work brought him to Denver, CO, Salt Lake City, UT, San Diego, CA, Hilton Head Island, SC, and Louisville, KY. He helped organize events like the Kentucky Derby, major conventions and countless others, but took the most pride in the time he spent coaching his teams.

Bill was known for his love of stories, affection for animals, and creative mind. He was concerned about the state of democracy and was politically engaged from the time he spent volunteering for the Carter presidential campaign to his eager participation in the 2022 midterm election. Above all, he cared deeply for his family, colleagues, and friends. A celebration of Bill’s life will be held at 10:00AM on December 9th, 2022, at Charles F.
