Bill worked for Rockford Morning Star and then moved on to work at E.D. Etnyre for 19 years before working at Endries International for 9 years. Bill believed in working hard and after working for those companies he worked for G&S and WGS Handman along with his son and also as maintenance for Oregon United Methodist Church.
