He also graduated from Tulsa University Graduate School of Business while attending night school. Bill worked for several large corporations in Bartlesville and Tulsa. He also worked at Adams Investment Company in Bartlesville for 27 years and retired as Secretary-Treasurer. After retirement he worked at various other jobs to experience some of the other types of jobs he hadn’t previously worked. In 1967 he met and married the love of his life.

Bill had also worked as a volunteer for Concern, Mary Martha Outreach and served on the Street and Traffic Committee for the City of Bartlesville. His family added the following: Bill was a great man who chose to spend his time supporting his family and others. He helped his wife pursue her passions of quilting and antiquing by opening Kountry Kupboard Quilt Shop in Bartlesville. Retiring early and being an avid camper, he travelled to all 48 contiguous US states with Barbara. We remember with joy the annual summer vacations and many camping trips he took us on.
