Bill graduated from Greenville High School in 1956 and Wittenburg University, where he played and coached basketball. After college he taught school and then began to build a successful swine operation for the next 50 plus years, with customers and friends all over the United States and abroad. Bill served on the boards of the YMCA, Township Zoning and the Greenville Schools along with many State and National Pork Committees. He was an avid basketball fan and attended Bible Study Fellowship in Richmond, Indiana. He was very proud of all of his grandchildren and loved to spend time with them and give encouragement in his own special way. They will miss him very much.
