He was born in Monroe County on Sept. 15, 1927, the son of Verne and Delphia (Ison) Hanna and he attended Ellettsville High School. He was an Army veteran of World War II and served in the European theater.
After his military service, Bill returned to Bloomington and began his longtime business, William K. Hanna Trucking.

The most important part of Bill's life was his family. "Papaw" was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather and there was not a sporting event that either he did not coach or sponsor. He continued his support later in life by attending and sponsoring numerous teams
