Bill grew up in the Sherman area and went to Sherman High School and then on to University of Texas where he graduated in 1947 with a BS in Chemical Engineering.
He started working for Mobil Oil the day after graduation and, unlike today, worked there until his retirement in 1985. He held a number of positions, and moved his family from Texas to New York to New Jersey, to Indiana to California, back to Indiana and finally back to Beaumont a few short years before his retirement. His most important role was his stint as father of five, including Johnny, Ann, Mary, Cecele and Brian and husband to Margie.
