He proudly served his country as an Army Ranger stationed in Ft. Jackson. Most recently, Bill worked in maintenance returns and he was a forklift driver for Lippert Co. He was also a former owner of Banks Cleaning Co. Bill was a hard worker who took great pride in providing for his family.

He also enjoyed watching Patrick Mahomes play and collecting football cards. Bill was a loyal friend and supportive of attending his grandchildren's after school activities. He was a fun- loving man and would love to joke around with people, just for laughs.
