University of Nebraska in Lincoln with a bachelor of science degree in business.
He received his masters degree in finance from Golden Gate University in SF, CA.
He was an employee of United Airlines for 36 years. Bill spent his retirement
years traveling the world in the interest of his hobby which was collecting rare
single malt scotches. In his earlier years he enjoyed racing cars and was a
member of the Sports Car Club of America; however he would always say that his
best job was being a grandfather. He was a member of Beta Theta Pi Fraternity,
