Bill was a graduate of the University of Washington School of Dentistry, June 15, 1957. He later became involved in the school of Gnathology, and was later the president of the Gold Foil Study Club.

He enjoyed skiing, fishing, hiking, camping, boating, backpacking, model planes and photography.

Bill and his beloved "Esty" not only had a true love for each other, but for the outdoors, which included their passion for photography, both having had many photos published.

Their passion for photography helped expand their love for travel doing many trips abroad, but their hearts belong to the great Pacific Northwest and was highlighted by an annual trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

His passion for life and his infectious laugh were always warm and welcoming. Bill was an inspiration to all, he will be truly missed by all who knew him.
