He attended high school at Kingswood School, where he was on the football team. At Princeton, he was manager of the fencing team and a member of the engineering society and Tower Club. Following graduation, Bill joined the Army Air Force, where he was a first lieutenant.

His long career as a mechanical engineer began with Pratt & Whitney and ended many years later at Spencer Turbine Co. Bill’s career was marked by his commitment to high standards and a strong work ethic.
